Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetable-oil-based polymers as future polymeric biomaterials.
TL;DR: Recent developments in the preparation of vegetable-oil-based polyurethane, polyester, polyether and polyolefin, all of which have potential applications as biomaterials are reviewed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiol-ene “click” reactions and recent applications in polymer and materials synthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, a review highlights examples of recent applications of both the radical-mediated and base/nucleophile-initiated thiol-ene reactions in polymer and materials synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant oil renewable resources as green alternatives in polymer science
TL;DR: The synthesis of monomers as well as polymers from plant fats and oils has already found some industrial application and recent developments in this field offer promising new opportunities, as is shown within this contribution.

Transesterification of vegetable oils: a review
TL;DR: In this article, the transesterification of vegetable oils with methanol as well as the main uses of the fatty acid methyl esters are reviewed. But, the anchored catalysts show leaching problems.

Transesterification kinetics of soybean oil 1
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the type of alcohol, 1-butanol or methanol (MeOH), molar ratio of alcohol to SBO, type and amount of catalyst, and reaction temperature on rate constants and kinetic order were examined.
