Simple and Efficient Approach toward Photosensitive Biobased Aliphatic Polycarbonate Materials

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and straightforward methodology for the synthesis of photosensitive monomers has been developed, in which a fatty acid-based cyclic carbonate bearing an unsaturation was synthesized and subsequently polymerized in a controlled manner by organo-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP).
