Progress in Renewable Polymers from Natural Terpenes, Terpenoids, and Rosin

TL;DR: This review covers recent progress in the field of renewable bio-based monomers and polymers from natural resources: terpenes, terpenoids, and rosin, which are a class of hydrocarbon-rich biomass with abundance and low cost, holding much potential for utilization as organic feedstocks for green plastics and composites.

From monomers to polymers from renewable resources: Recent advances

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a panoramic overview of the recent progress, but mainly of the broad possibilities that are still available in the hands of researchers working on this topic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in vegetable oil-based polymers and their composites

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in polymeric materials from vegetable oils in terms of preparation, characterization, and properties can be found in this article, where nano-composites and fiber reinforced composites based on bio-polymers matrices are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Review of Natural Fibers Used in Biocomposites: Plant, Animal and Regenerated Cellulose Fibers

TL;DR: In this paper, the reinforcement potential of natural fibers and their properties have been described in numerous papers and the chemical composition and properties of each of the fibers changes, which demands the detailed comparison of these fibers.

Rubbery Thermosets by Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization of a Functionalized Castor Oil and Cyclooctene

TL;DR: In this article, a modified castor oil containing norbornene moieties and cyclooctene has been synthesized and characterized and the results showed that the presence of the soluble fractions helps to plasticize the materials and give added thermal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biobased thermosets from the free‐radical copolymerization of conjugated linseed oil

TL;DR: In this paper, the bulk free-radical copolymerization of 100% conjugated linseed oil, acrylonitrile, and divinylbenzene was used to construct polymeric thermosets.

Acyclic Triene Metathesis Oligo‐ and Polymerization of High Oleic Sun Flower Oil

TL;DR: In this article, high oleic sunflower oil, a renewable raw material consisting of triglycerides with internal C=C-double bonds, was polymerized via acyclic triene metathesis (ATMET) to highly branched and functionalized polyesters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studying and Suppressing Olefin Isomerization Side Reactions During ADMET Polymerizations.

TL;DR: It was shown that the addition of benzoquinone to the polymerization mixture prevented the olefin isomerization and second generation ruthenium metathesis catalysts may now be used for the preparation of well-defined polymers via ADMET with very little isomersization, which was not possible before.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of acrylated and urethanated triacylglycerols

TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary study had shown that the internal double bonds present on the unsaturated aliphatic chains were too unreactive for any viable polymerization process, chemical modifications were investigated involving the grafting of polymerizable moieties on hydroxy or epoxide groups present in castor oil or in epoxidized soybean oil.
