New bio-based sustainable polymers and polymer composites based on methacrylate derivatives of furfural, solketal and lactic acid

Monomers derived from renewable sources are of great interest to drive sustainable polymer chemistry. Herein, bio-based furfural, glycerol and lactic acid were used as building blocks to prepare methacrylate monomers via simple transesterification reactions in high yield and purity. The monomers wer...
