To address the increasing demand for biobased materials, lignin-derived ferulic acid(FA) is a promising candidate. In this study, an FA-derived styrene-like monomer, referred to as2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol (MVP), was used as the platform to prepare functional monomers forradical polymerizations. Hydrophobic biobased monomers derived from MVP were polymerizedvia solution and emulsion polymerization resulting in homo- and copolymers with a wide rangeof thermal properties, thus showcasing their potential in thermoplastic applications. Moreover,divinylbenzene (DVB)-like monomers were prepared from MVP by varying the aliphatic chain lengthbetween the MVP units. These biobased monomers were thermally crosslinked with thiol-bearingreagents to produce thermosets with different crosslinking densities in order to demonstrate theirthermosetting applications. The results of this study expand the scope of MVP-derived monomers thatcan be used in free-radical polymerizations toward the preparation of new biobased and functionalmaterials from lignin.
