  2. Dicarboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarboxylic_acid

    Dicarboxylic acids are used in the preparation of copolymers such as polyamides and polyesters. The most widely used dicarboxylic acid in the industry is adipic acid, which is a precursor in the production of nylon. Other examples of dicarboxylic acids include aspartic acid and glutamic acid, two amino acids in the human body.
