Adipic acid, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti mafuta acid, ndi yofunika kwambiri ya dibasic acid yomwe imagwira ntchito yofunika kwambiri m'mafakitale osiyanasiyana. Ndi kachitidwe ka HOOC(CH2)4COOH, kaphatikizidwe kosunthika kameneka kamatha kuchita zinthu zingapo monga kupanga mchere, esterification, ndi amidation. Kuphatikiza apo, imatha kupanga polycondense ndi diamine kapena diol kupanga ma polima apamwamba kwambiri. Dicarboxylic acid iyi imakhala ndi phindu lalikulu pakupanga mankhwala, makampani opanga ma organic synthesis, mankhwala, komanso kupanga mafuta. Kufunika kwake kosatsutsika kumawonekera m'malo ake ngati dicarboxylic acid yachiwiri yomwe imapangidwa kwambiri pamsika.
