Polymerisation of α-Pinene Methacrylate monomer via Cobalt Mediated Catalytic Chain Transfer Polymerisation (CCTP) and Thiol Reactions to yield oligomers

Terpenes are renewable hydrocarbons found in nature. Their structural common characteristic is that they all contain unsaturated double bonds. However, early research has proven that homo polymerisation of these terpenes requires extreme conditions and results in low molecular weight polymers.1, 2 M...
