Abstract
The field of sustainable polymers from renewable feedstocks is a fast-reviving field after the decades-long domination of petroleum-based polymers. Amide-containing polymers exhibit a wide range of properties depending on the type of amide (primary, secondary, and tertiary), amide density, and other molecular structural parameters (co-existing groups, molecular weight, and topology). Engineering amide groups into sustainable polymers via the "monomer approach" is an industrially proven strategy, while bio-based monomers are of enormous importance to bridge the gap between renewable sources and amide-containing sustainable polymers (AmSPs). This feature article aims at conceptualizing the monomer-design philosophy behind most of the reported AmSPs and is organized by discussing di-functional monomers for step-growth polymerization, cyclic monomers for ring-opening polymerization and amide-containing monomers for chain-growth polymerization. We also give a perspective on AmSPs with respect to monomer design and performance enhancement.

Abstract
Boroxine-based thermosets with remarkable mechanical tunability, self-healing ability, recyclability, and adhesive strength are of significant importance in various applications. However, complex multistep reactions are often required to prepare such thermosets. Herein, a facile one-pot approach to synthesize boroxine-based malleable thermosets is proposed. Random copolymers with pendant boronic acid groups were synthesized from alkenyl monomers containing boronic acids [4-vinylphenylboronic acid (4-VPBA), 3-vinylphenylboronic acid, or 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid] and octadecanoxy polyethylene glycol methacrylate. Then, the as-prepared copolymers were cured to form thermosets with boroxine bonds. The tensile strengths of the thermosets were tailored to range from 9.3 to 27.5 MPa by increasing the concentration of 4-VPBA. Moreover, because of the reversible nature of dynamic boroxine bonds (transformation between boroxines and boronic acids) induced by water, the thermosets exhibit remarkable self-healing efficiency (up to 99%), tunable mechanical properties, and excellent recyclability. Additionally, the thermosets also demonstrate superior adhesive strength (as high as 73.9 MPa) on different substrates.

Abstract
In contrast to solution polymerization, interfacial polymerization of α-(chloromethyl)acryloyl chloride and bisphenol Z results in fast esterification and slow ether formation, affording regulated monomer junctions. The controlled structure increases the crystallinity of the resulting polymers. In addition, terpolymerization with dicarboxylic acid chloride results in controlled monomer sequences with uniformly distributed acrylate moieties, leading to efficient curability.

Abstract
Although the aza-Michael addition reaction on various unsaturated (di-)carboxylic acids and esters of, for example, itaconic acid, is well-known, the consecutive cyclization reaction has not received much attention in literature. The products of this aza-Michael cascade reaction, being mono- or di-carboxylic acid or ester functionalized N-alkyl-pyrrolidone structures, prove interesting for melt-polycondensation reactions as they exhibit excellent stability at elevated temperatures. In other words, this reaction is a toolbox for the generation of renewable monomers and, in turn, polymers with tunable physiological properties. Therefore, this work provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of the cascade aza-Michael addition-cyclization reactions on biobased unsaturated acids and esters, and their use in polymerization reactions. Furthermore, we extend this overview with the cascade aza-Michael addition-cyclization reaction of trans-trimethyl aconitate with di-amines to form a tetra-functional N-alkyl-bis-(pyrrolidone dimethylcarboxylate), which exhibits excellent thermal stability and could effectively be used as monomer in polycondensation reactions. Importantly, the aza-Michael addition reaction between primary amines and trans-trimethyl aconitate can be considered a click-reaction; it proceeds quantitatively within minutes under ambient conditions and follows the principles of green chemistry.

Improving the Hydrolysis Rate of the Renewable Poly(hexamethylene sebacate) Through Copolymerization of a Bis(pyrrolidone)-Based Dicarboxylic Acid. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11101654.

Abstract
In this work, we report on the synthesis of a series of polyesters based on 1,6-hexanediol, sebacic acid, and N,N’-dimethylene-bis(pyrrolidone-4-carboxylic acid) (BP-C2), of which the latter is derived from renewable itaconic acid and 1,2-ethanediamine. Copolymers with a varying amount of BP-C2 as dicarboxylic acid are synthesized using a melt-polycondensation reaction with the aim of controlling the hydrolysis rate of the polymers in water or under bioactive conditions. We demonstrate that the introduction of BP-C2 in the polymer backbone does not limit the molecular weight build-up, as polymers with a weight average molecular weight close to 20 kg/mol and higher are obtained. Additionally, as the BP-C2 moiety is excluded from the crystal structure of poly(hexamethylene sebacate), the increase in BP-C2 concentration effectively results in a suppression in both melting temperature and crystallinity of the polymers. Overall, we demonstrate that the BP-C2 moiety enhances the polymer’s affinity to water, effectively improving the water uptake and rate of hydrolysis, both in demineralized water and in the presence of a protease from Bacillus licheniformis.

Abstract
An analysis of the network structures in thiol-ene UV curing resins was carried out using reworkable resins composed of di(meth)acrylate monomers having tertiary ester linkages. The effect of the functionality of the thiols, the functional ratio of the thiol and ene functions, their conversions and curing atmosphere on the chain lengths was discussed. A mixture of (meth)acrylates, thiol compounds, a photoradical initiator, and a photoacid generator was cured by irradiation at 365 nm. The cured samples were degraded by heating after irradiation at 254 nm. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and ¹H NMR analyses of the degraded samples were carried out after the methylation. The crosslinking conditions strongly affected the network structures. The degraded samples have molecular weights between 250 and 2700. The molecular weights of the degraded resins increased with the functionality of the thiol compounds. The chain length dependence suggests that thiol compounds with a high functionality have a low reactivity due to steric hindrance. The chain lengths of the degraded networks were nearly proportional to the concentration of the (meth)acrylate monomers. The addition of reactive diluents enhanced the reactivity and increased the chain length.
