Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have been used in a variety of applications. However, the most widely being used TPEs are still prepared using ‘petroleum-based’ monomers such as styrene, butadiene, and isoprene. Therefore, the ‘sustainable’ TPEs are actively being investigated. In this study, to replace petroleum-based butadiene or isoprene, lauryl acrylate (LAc) derived from fatty acids is introduced to TPEs as rubbery block via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Moreover, 1−adamantyl acrylate (AdAc) is used as glassy block to afford sustainable TPEs with high service temperature. The synthetic results and characterizations of well-controlled PAdAc-b-PLAc-b-PAdAc will be discussed in detail. |
