  • Functionalized dimethoxyphenol monomers and methods for preparing such monomers
    Patent number: 11732141
    Abstract: Dimethoxyphenol-based monomers containing polymerizable functional groups such as [meth]acrylate groups are useful for the preparation of polymers, wherein one or more dimethoxyphenyl moieties are part of side chains pendant to the backbones of the polymers. The polymers thereby obtained may have different, improved properties, such as higher glass transition temperatures, thermal stability and solvent resistance, as compared to polymers based on other types of lignin-derived monomers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE
    Inventors: Angela L. Holmberg, Kaleigh H. Reno, Thomas H. Epps, III
