“…From the perspective of macromolecular design, the core design strategy of the itaconate elastomer mainly includes three points: first, itaconic acid was esterified with monohydric alcohol to obtain itaconate; second, dienes are selected as copolymerization units considering flexible segments and cross-linkable sites; third, the functionalization of the itaconate elastomer matrix can be realized by introducing third monomers. By adjusting the side chain length of itaconate and the structure composition of copolymers, the itaconate elastomer can be used to develop biobased elastomer products in different application fields, including tire, − oil resistance, , and gas barrier. , Tire is the largest area of rubber material consumption (about 60%), and the sustainable preparation of raw materials fir tires becomes particularly important. In order to screen the molecular structure of the itaconate elastomer for tread application, Lei et al prepared a series of copolymers with isoprene and di- n -alkyl itaconates ( n = 1–10) as copolymer units.…”

Driven by the incessant depletion of fossil resources and pressing environmental concerns, it is crucial to develop biobased tire tread materials with excellent balanced comprehensive properties in the rubber industry. Herein, an efficient and facile strategy for fabricating high-performance tire tread materials is reported that biobased itaconate elastomer poly(dibutyl itaconate-co-butadiene-co-glycidyl methacrylate) (PDBIBG) was synthesized by solvent-free emulsion polymerization. This macromolecular structure allows for the preparation of silica-reinforced composites with excellent rolling resistance, which is attributed to the covalent bonding and hydrogen bonding between the PDBIBG chains and silica. Moreover, in order to further optimize the wet skid resistance, two routes were designed to adjust the molecular structure of the PDBIBG matrix by means of the idea of integral rubber. Additional copolymerization components included styrene, dimethyl itaconate, diethyl itaconate, isoprene, myrcene, and farnesene. A series of biobased elastomers (x-PDBIBG) with high molecular weight (200,000 to 352,000 g/mol) were obtained. The chemical structure, thermal properties, mechanical properties, elasticity, and dynamic mechanical properties were studied in detail. The results showed that x-PDBIBG/silica exhibited a tensile strength ranging from 11.8 to 20.9 MPa. For x-PDBIBG/silica with 10 wt % myrcene, the rolling resistance decreased by 19.5% and the wet skid resistance increased by 19.2% at the same time comparable to PDBIBG/silica. Additionally, x-PDBIBG with myrcene or farnesene had higher biobased components. This strategy may be equally applicable to commercially available petroleum-based rubbers, which can meet the requirements of performance improvement and biobased raw material at the same time. This work provides a theoretical basis for the preparation of biobased, high-performance integral elastomers and their application in sustainable tire tread.

“…Hitherto, high-performance poly(oxalamide) elastomers, characterized by their exceptional strength and toughness, have rarely been reported because strong HB interaction may result in excessive supramolecular aggregation . Besides, other sustainable compounds, such as methyl 10-undecenoate, ,− 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, , itaconic acid, , 1,3-propanediol, fumaric Acid, Priamine 1075 and Pripol 1009, thermoplastic starch, , cellulose, lignin etc., have also been used in the design and preparation of TPEs. Although considerable progress has been made in the manufacture of sustainable TPEs, simultaneously achieving mechanical robustness and toughness in biobased TPEs continues to pose a significant challenge.…”

Harvesting sustainable biobased elastomers with both high strength and high toughness holds great promise for various applications. However, the inherent conflicts between these properties make it challenging to achieve a simultaneous balance. Here, inspired by the structure of spider silk, we have synthesized a multiphase polymer (PA-BP x ) containing oxalamides derived from biomass. The introduction of a benzene ring structure, combined with the double hydrogen bonds of oxalamide, results in smaller and more uniformly distributed hard domains, concurrently enhancing the molecular chain rigidity. The molecular structure described facilitates energy dissipation through the destruction and reformation of hard domains, achieving a remarkable balance between superior mechanical robustness and toughness. The PA-BP 40 elastomer demonstrates exceptional advantages in both tensile strength and toughness compared to other reported biobased and filled biobased elastomers, with a toughness of 230 MJ•m −3 and maintaining a high tensile strength of 46.6 MPa. These remarkable mechanical properties make the PA-BP 40 elastomer a promising material for various applications where both high strength and toughness are required. Moreover, the elastomers exhibit strong fluorescence even in the absence of conventional chromophores, highlighting their potential for fluorescent anticounterfeiting applications. Overall, this study presents a promising strategy for developing sustainable elastomers with desirable performance characteristics, thus contributing to the advancement of biobased materials in various applications.

Most rubber products come from petrochemical resources, which are increasingly in short supply. Rubber products that formed irreversible chemical bonds in the vulcanization process are difficult to recycle, resulting in a serious waste of resources. Therefore, it is important to prepare a kind of reprocessable biobased elastomers. Using furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) as the modified monomer, poly(dibutyl itaconate-myrcenefurfuryl methacrylate) (PDBIMFA) was synthesized by hightemperature emulsion polymerization successfully. The structure and compositions of PDBIMFA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and 1 H NMR, and the effects of different FMA contents on the structures and properties of PDBIMFA were systematically studied. Based on the Diels−Alder reaction, bismaleimide (BMI) and carbon black (CB) were introduced into PDBIMFA as cross-linking agents and reinforcing fillers, respectively, by the melt blending method, and PDBIMFA-BMI elastomer materials and CB/PDBIMFA-BMI elastomer composites with thermo-reversible cross-linking characteristics were prepared. The effects of the ratio of FMA and BMI on the mechanical properties of PDBIMFA-BMI were studied. PDBIMFA-BMI and CB/PDBIMFA-BMI were reprocessed twice, and the recovery rate of tensile strength was both more than 90%. The addition of CB was found to play a reinforcing role in the elastomer and with the introduction of the amount of CB, the reprocessability of composite remained at a good level. It is hoped that this research will provide a new strategy for the sustainable development of bio-based elastomer materials.
