Abstract:Polyamides (PA) are among the most essential and versatile polymers due to their outstanding characteristics, e.g., high chemical resistance and temperature stability. Furthermore, nature‐derived monomers can introduce hard‐to‐synthesize structures into the PAs for unique polymer properties. Pinene, as one of the most abundant terpenes in nature and its presumable stability‐giving bicyclic structure, is therefore highly promising. This work presents simple anionic ring‐opening polymerizations of β‐pinene lacta… Show more
