“…This high degree of unsaturation gives these macromolecules potential for functionalization and subsequent polymerization to form a highly crosslinked polymer matrix. Polymers have been made from soybean, [5][6][7][8] corn, 9 tung, 10,11 linseed, [12][13][14][15] and castor oil, 16,17 among others, and many approaches to polymerization have been utilized including cationic, [18][19][20] free radical, 21,22 thermal, 23,24 UV-initiated, 25 and ring-opening polymerization. 26 Strangely, transition metal-based catalysts have yet to assert themselves as a force in vegetable oil bulk polymerization, despite the continual development of novel catalyst complexes that can produce high-yielding, stereoregular, Additional Supporting Information may be found in the online version of this article.…”
