Olefin cross-metathesis as a valuable tool for the preparation of renewable polyesters and polyamides from unsaturated fatty acid esters and carbamates

TL;DR: Olefin cross-metathesis of unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived benzyl carbamates with methyl acrylate is described in this article, where the obtained byproduct, an α,β-unsaturated ester, was further modified via thia-Michael addition reactions in order to synthesize branched AA-type or AB-type monomers for the preparation of polyesters.

Properties of alkoxysilane castor oil synthesized via thiol-ene and its polyurethane/siloxane hybrid coating films

TL;DR: In this article, a new silanized castor oil (MSCO) composed of 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxy silane via thiol-ene coupling (TEC) was used as a functional polyol in the preparation of a series of bio-based polyurethane/siloxane (SiPU) hybrid coatings through reactions with different castor-oil-and-isophorone-diisocyanate (IPDI) ratios.
