Isoselective Polymerization of 1-Vinylcyclohexene (VCH) and a Terpene Derived Monomer S-4-Isopropenyl-1-vinyl-1-cyclohexene (IVC), and Its Binary Copolymerization with Linear Terpenes

Abstract

Inside Front Cover: The cover image of article 2400834 by Finizia Auriemma, Carmine Capacchione, and co-workers illustrates the production of biobased polymers and copolymers using titanium OSSO complexes as catalysts. Monomers such as VCH, IVC (extracted from Perilla plants), myrcene (sourced from Myrcia), and ocimene (present in Basil) are depicted. The artwork highlights the sustainable conversion of plant-derived compounds into stereoregular polymers, showcasing advancements in green and renewable materials science.
