Sustainable polymers from renewal resources have recently gained significant momentum in the hope of playing a bigger role in the commercial market. While natural polymers are widely used for making commodity products, more efforts have been focused on the exploration of biobased monomers, which could be turned into platform chemicals for molecularly engineering into macromolecules. In this presentation, I will detail our efforts in using controlled polymerization to prepare sustainable polymers from a variety of monomers derived from biomass.
