This project will create a completely new range of polymers derived directly from terpenes: natural products that are readily available from waste streams including food, forestry and agriculture, and in the future will be produced in very significant volumes from biomass through industrial biotechnology routesOur initial proof of concept data show significant promise and we have created a range of 16 terpene-based acrylate and methacrylate monomers that can then be polymerised into high molecular weight polymers with excellent control of molecular weight and end-group fidelity. This project is focused on demonstrating facile formation of a range of new and valuable polymers and control control of key structure property relationshipsThe new terpene acrylate and methacrylate monomers provide an opportunity to create a gradation of properties, tailored to move from "soft" to "hard blocks". This is the fundamental design principle behind the thermoplastic elastomers upon which society now relies heavily for structured materials; from hair care to shoe soles, and acrylic bathtubs to car suspension bushes. A key target will be to understand the structure-property relationships for a range of statistical, block and tapered copolymers that we wil synthesise and manipulate and control their mechanical properties through optimisation,

该项目将创造一系列全新的直接从萜烯衍生的聚合物：从包括食品、林业和农业在内的废物流中容易获得的天然产品，未来将通过工业生物技术路线从生物质中大量生产我们的初步概念验证数据显示出巨大的前景，我们已经创造了一系列16种萜烯-基于丙烯酸酯和甲基丙烯酸酯单体，然后可以聚合成高分子量聚合物，具有优异的分子量控制和端基保真度。该项目的重点是展示一系列新的和有价值的聚合物的容易形成和关键结构性能关系的控制。新的萜烯丙烯酸酯和甲基丙烯酸酯单体提供了一个机会，创造一个性能的梯度，从“软”到“硬块”。这是热塑性弹性体背后的基本设计原则，社会现在严重依赖于结构材料;从护发到鞋底，从丙烯酸浴缸到汽车悬架衬套。一个关键的目标将是了解一系列统计，嵌段和锥形共聚物的结构-性能关系，我们将合成和操纵，并通过优化控制其机械性能，
