Renewable polymeric materials from vegetable oils: A perspective
TL;DR: The utilization of vegetable oils is currently in the spotlight of the chemical industry, as they are one of the most important renewable platform chemicals due to their universal availability, inherent biodegradability, low price, and superb environmental credentials as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant oils as platform chemicals for polyurethane synthesis: current state-of-the-art.
TL;DR: This review is to comprehensively overview recent developments on the preparation of biobased polyols from plant oils, covering from the general epoxidation and ring-opening approach to novel routes based on thiol-ene click chemistry as well as to highlight the properties of polyurethanes obtained from them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solvent Choice Differentiates SET-LRP and Cu-Mediated Radical Polymerization with Non-First-Order Kinetics
TL;DR: In this article, the role of solvent mediating the disproportionation of Cu(I)X into Cu(0) and Cu(II)X2 during SET-LRP, a series of polymerizations of methyl acrylate initiated with methyl 2-bromopropionate and catalyzed by Cu( 0)/Me6-TREN at 25 °C in DMSO, MeCN, and their mixtures were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-Dependent Kinetics of Cu(0)-Wire-Catalyzed Single-Electron Transfer Living Radical Polymerization of Methyl Acrylate in DMSO at 25 °C
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of wire dimensions on the SET-LRP of methyl acrylate (MA) initiated with methyl 2-bromopropionate (MBP) in DMSO at 25 °C was analyzed by kinetic experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of dendritic macromolecules through divergent iterative thio-bromo “Click” chemistry and SET-LRP
TL;DR: The addition of a third step, the single-electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of methyl acrylate (MA), was shown to provides access to a three-step “branch” and “grow” divergent approach to dendritic macromolecules wherein poly(methyl acRYlate) (PMA) connects the branching subunits.
