Vanillin, which can be sustainably obtainednfrom lignin biomass, is a phenolic compound that is widely used asna food additive. We herein report our study of polymer synthesis usingnvanillin through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Ourninitial step involves the chemical transformation of vanillin intonvanillin 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate (VN), a polymerizablenmonomer. This ROMP monomer has the capability to form poly(vanillinn5-norbornene-2-carboxylate) using a Grubbs catalyst. This glassy homopolymernhas a molecular weight of 49,000 g/mol with a Đ of 1.23. To explore its potential in copolymers, we performed triblockncopolymerization to create ABA-type thermoplastic elastomers. To achieventhis, we synthesized three ROMP monomers serving as soft blocks, eachncontaining different alkyl chains. Through a sequential addition ofnmonomers (VN, soft block, and VN in thatnorder), we successfully synthesized six vanillin-based triblock copolymersnwith molecular weights of 32,000–61,200 g/mol and Đ values of 1.24–1.40. These synthesized polymers exhibit excellentnmechanical properties, including a Young’s modulus of 28 MPa,nsurpassing commercial thermoplastic elastomers. Atomic force microscopyn(AFM) reveals microphase separation consistent with the two distinctnglass transition temperatures.","PeriodicalId":522129,"journal":{"name":"Figshare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147892156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
