The irruption of polymers from renewable resources on the scene of macromolecular science and technology

TL;DR: A panoramic overview of recent progress in the most relevant areas related to such materials, including the polymerisation of natural monomers and their derivatives, the exploitation of biopolymers, as such, or after appropriate modifications, as well as the preparation of composites and blends, can be found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant oils: The perfect renewable resource for polymer science?!

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the present situation with special attention to the use of olefin metathesis and thiol-ene chemistry as synthetic methods and as polymerization techniques.

From Vegetable Oils to Polyurethanes: Synthetic Routes to Polyols and Main Industrial Products

TL;DR: Most of the biobased polyols for polyurethanes are synthesized from vegetable oils as discussed by the authors, where olefinic functionalities of triglycerides could easily be epoxidized, leading to reactive epoxide groups.

Click Chemistry: Diverse Chemical Function from a Few Good Reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of powerful, highly reliable, and selective reactions for the rapid synthesis of useful new compounds and combinatorial libraries through heteroatom links (C-X-C), an approach called click chemistry is defined, enabled, and constrained by a handful of nearly perfect "springloaded" reactions.
