Bio-based poly(ester-<i>alt</i>-thioether)s synthesized by organo-catalyzed ring-opening copolymerizations of eugenol-based epoxides and <i>N</i>-acetyl homocysteine thiolactone

Abstract

A series of fully bio-based poly(ester- alt -thioether)s are efficiently synthesized by organo-catalyzed alternating ring-opening copolymerizations of eugenol-derived monomers, vanillin glycidyl ether and N -acetyl homocysteine thiolactone.
