“…It can be used directly as an epoxy resin hardener, but its applications are much wider. They include preparation of epoxy resins [83,84], acrylic resins [85,86,87], allyl resins [88,89,90], polyols [91], bio-based curing agents for synthetic epoxy resins [92,93,94,95,96,97,98] or bio-based ones [99], surfactants [100,101,102,103], intermediates [104,105], biologically active compounds [105,106,107,108], polyurethanes [109,110,111,112], chemicals for NMR techniques [113] and photolitography [114], sorbents [115], organosilicon compounds [116], printing inks [117] and for the hydrophobization of wood surfaces [118,119,120]. It is noteworthy that the main degradation products of maleopimaric acid are water, carbon dioxide, formamide and also aliphatic and aromatic derivatives [121].…”
