In recent years, polymer chemistry has experienced an intensive development of a new field regarding the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic biobased monomers obtained from renewable plant sources. A one-step process for the synthesis of new vinyl monomers by the reaction of direct transesterification of plant oil triglycerides with N-(hydroxyethyl)acrylamide has been recently invented to yield plant oil-based monomers (POBMs). The features of the POBM chemical structure, containing both a polar (hydrophilic) fragment capable of electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic acyl fatty acid moieties (C15-C17) capable of van der Waals interactions, ensures the participation of the POBMs fragments of polymers in intermolecular interactions before and during polymerization. The use of the POBMs with different unsaturations in copolymerization reactions with conventional vinyl monomers allows for obtaining copolymers with enhanced hydrophobicity, provides a mechanism of internal plasticization and control of crosslinking degree. Synthesized latexes and latex polymers are promising candidates for the formation of hydrophobic polymer coatings with controlled physical and mechanical properties through the targeted control of the content of different POBM units with different degrees of unsaturation in the latex polymers.

植物油基丙烯酸单体在乳液聚合中的非常规特性

近年来，聚合物化学在合成可再生植物来源的脂肪族和芳香族生物基单体方面经历了一个新领域的深入发展。最近发明了一种通过植物油甘油三酯与 N-（羟乙基）丙烯酰胺的直接酯交换反应合成新乙烯基单体的一步法，以产生植物油基单体 (POBM)。POBM 化学结构的特征，包含能够静电相互作用的极性（亲水）片段和能够进行范德华相互作用的疏水酰基脂肪酸部分（C15-C17），确保聚合物的 POBM 片段参与分子间聚合前和聚合过程中的相互作用。在与常规乙烯基单体的共聚反应中使用具有不同不饱和度的 POBM 可以获得具有增强疏水性的共聚物，提供内部增塑和控制交联度的机制。通过有针对性地控制胶乳聚合物中具有不同不饱和度的不同 POBM 单元的含量，合成胶乳和胶乳聚合物是形成具有受控物理和机械性能的疏水聚合物涂层的有希望的候选者。
