Combining isosorbide and lignin-related benzoic acids for high-Tg polymethacrylates
The insertion of rigid aliphatic or aromatic building blocks in polymer structures is an efficient synthetic strategy towards high-Tg polymer materials. In the present work, we have functionalized isosorbide 5-methacrylate with various aromatic lignin-inspired esters to yield a series of isosorbide-2-aryl carboxylate-5-methacrylate monomers (ArIMAs) as single regioisomers. The selection of phenyl
