Abstract
(Meth)acrylic polymers are massively produced due to their inherently attractive properties. However, the vast majority of these polymers are derived from fossil resources, which is not aligned with the tendency to reduce gas emissions. In this context, (meth)acrylic polymers derived from biomass (biobased polymers) are gaining momentum, as their application in different areas can not only stand the comparison but even surpass, in some cases, the performance of petroleum-derived ones. In this review, we highlight the design and synthesis of (meth)acrylic polymers derived from lactate esters (LEs) and lactate amides (LAs), both derived from lactic acid. While biobased polymers have been widely studied and reviewed, the poly(meth)acrylates with pendant LE and LA moieties evolved slowly until recently when significant achievements have been made. Hence, constraints and opportunities arising from previous research in this area are presented, focusing on the synthesis of well-defined polymers for the preparation of advanced materials.
(甲基丙烯酸聚合物因其固有的诱人特性而被大量生产。然而,这些聚合物绝大多数来自化石资源,与减少气体排放的趋势不符。在这种情况下,从生物质中提取的(甲基)丙烯酸聚合物(生物基聚合物)的发展势头越来越好,因为它们在不同领域的应用不仅可以与石油提取的聚合物相媲美,在某些情况下甚至可以超越它们的性能。在本综述中,我们将重点介绍从乳酸中提取的乳酸酯(LEs)和乳酸酰胺(LAs)衍生的(甲基)丙烯酸聚合物的设计和合成。虽然对生物基聚合物进行了广泛的研究和评论,但具有悬垂 LE 和 LA 分子的聚(甲基)丙烯酸酯发展缓慢,直到最近才取得了重大成就。因此,本文介绍了该领域以往研究中出现的制约因素和机遇,重点是合成用于制备先进材料的定义明确的聚合物。
