The macromolecular properties, including the glass transition temperature (T-g) and solvent resistance, of lignin-inspired poly(dimethoxyphenyl methacrylate)s were controlled by varying the position of the dimethoxy substituents in the constituent monomers. For the four dimethoxyphenyl methacrylate isomers investigated, with substituents at different locations on the phenyl ring (i.e., 3,5-; 2,3-; 2,4-; and 2,6-), the T-g's of the resulting polymers spanned a wide range from less than 100 degrees C to greater than 200 degrees C. Rotational freedom and segmental interactions were responsible for the varying Tg's. The polymers were thermally stable in air up to similar to 300 degrees C, providing a suitable thermal processing window. The poly(dimethoxyphenol methacrylate) homopolymers also exhibited remarkably different solvent resistances to organic solvents, including tetrahydrofuran and chloroform. Furthermore, by copolymerizing various dimethoxyphenyl methacrylate isomers, the T-g and solvent resistance of the resulting macromolecules could be tuned independently to gain enhanced control over materials design. The ability to manipulate properties through isomer composition in this lignin-inspired system may facilitate usage in applications such as components in coatings, thermoplastics, thermoplastic elastomers, and other materials.
