The Functionalisation of Terpenes for Sustainable Polymerisations Towards Biomedical Applications

This thesis details a variety of methods in which monoterpenes can be employed in different stages of sustainable polymerisation mechanisms, with a view to using the polymeric materials in biomaterials applications such as anti-microbial formulations. In the first experimental chapter, it is demo...
