“…Terpenes and their derivatives, known for their abundance and affordability, serve as an excellent resource for the production of biobased polymeric materials . These biocompounds, naturally occurring in plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, contribute to their characteristic aromas and flavors. − Additionally, they possess notable pharmacological properties, such as antibacterial activity, making them essential in various everyday life and industrial applications. − The unique characteristics of terpenes have been harnessed to develop sustainable polymeric materials with diverse biomedical applications . For instance, cis -1,4-polyisoprene, also referred to as natural rubber, offers a range of sustainable monomers, including the 1,3-diene monomers β-myrcene and β-farnesene, and serves as an example of terpene-based building blocks for functional polymers .…”
