Molecular biomass plays an ever-increasing role in the development of renewable polymers. Most often desirable properties and applications are a combination of functions and macromolecular architectures. Over the last few years we have focused on delivering novel sustainable thermoplastics and biomaterials from renewable natural resources. Particularly, we target on a class of hydrocarbon-rich biomass to transform their hydrophobicity into resultant polymeric materials. This presentation will summarize a few projects related with these approaches and objectives.
