Expanding the chemical functionality of levoglucosenone-based monomers for degradable thiol–ene thermosets with high bio-derived content
Thiol–ene thermosets are prepared from seven different dienes using levoglucosenol as a functional scaffold, affording polymers with a high fraction of bio-based carbon. Tuneable thermal, mechanical and degradation properties are shown.
