This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current scientific status of monomer and polymer synthesis, as well as the areas of application for (meth)acrylates based on monoterpenes, using the industrially available IBOMA as an example.
Vegetable oils and lipids, terpenes, lignin derivatives, carbohydrates, and proteins are used as biomass feedstock to prepare new bio-based monomers for radical polymerization in aqueous dispersed media, producing bio-based latexes.
In vat polymerization (VP) 3D printing, there is an urgent need to expand characterization efforts for resins derived from natural resources to counter the increasing consumption of fossil fuels required to synthesize conventional monomers.
Green resins for vat photopolymerization are critically assessed, highlighting bio-based feedstocks, synthetic trade-offs, and a unified green metric for guiding future materials design.
