General description

Menthide is a seven-membered, plant-derived lactone monomer that can be readily polymerized via ring opening polymerization (ROP). Controlled ROP has yielded aliphatic polyesters with high molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (PDI). Menthide has been copolymerized with other biologically derived monomers, such as lactide, to yield products such as thermoplastic elastomers and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
