Currently, alternative sources for commodity chemicals and polymers are being intensively studied due to the finite nature and environmental concerns of nonrenewable petroleum-based resources. Lignocellulosic biomass offers an attractive replacement for fossil-based chemicals and synthetic pathways for well-defined poly(meth)acrylates derived from C5/C6 sugar-derived platforms are discussed in this review.
Currently, most commodity chemicals and polymers are manufactured from nonrenewable petroleum-based resources. However, due to its finite nature and social claims about environment preservation, alternative sources of value-added and building block chemicals are being intensively studied. Renewable lignocellulosic biomass has offered an attractive replacement for fossil-based chemicals. Lignin and C5/C6 sugars obtained from lignocellulosic biomass through chemical and enzymatic methods can be further transformed to targeted chemical platforms. In the present review, synthetic pathways for well-defined poly(meth)acrylates obtained from C5/C6 sugar-derived platforms in which the sugar structure is not retained are discussed. While bio-based polymers from these monomers are investigated using a wide range of polymerization techniques, this study focuses on precise synthesis of macromolecular structures taking advantage of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization methods and their applications.
