Abstract

The use of renewable feedstock is an important issue to reduce the fossil fuel consumption. In this contribution, we report the cationic ring-opening polymerization of a 2-oxazoline monomer with soybean fatty acid side chains (SoyOx) under microwave irradiation. Kinetic experiments were performed to investigate the livingness of the polymerization in both acetonitrile and in the absence of solvent. In addition, both block and statistical copolymers were prepared using the SoyOx monomer. The synthesized (co)polymers were crosslinked under UV-irradiation resulting in insoluble polymeric materials and core-crosslinked micelles.
