Bio-based poly(ester-alt-thioether)s synthesized by organo-catalyzed ring-opening copolymerizations of eugenol-based epoxides and N-acetyl homocysteine thiolactone

A series of fully bio-based poly(ester- alt -thioether)s are efficiently synthesized by organo-catalyzed alternating ring-opening copolymerizations of eugenol-derived monomers, vanillin glycidyl ether and N -acetyl homocysteine thiolactone.
