The resulting salicylate based monomer was polymerized by reversible addition fragmentation transfer(RAFT) polymerizations using two or three trithiocarbonate functionalizedpoly(3-hydroxybutyrate) macroagents. The molecular structures of the obtained polymers were confirmed by NMR spectroscopyand GPC analysis.The resulting block copolymers showed glass transition temperature (Tg) at 5°C and melting temperature (Tm) at 160°C according to DSCresults .Compared to PHB, the obtained block copolymers displayed enhanced thermal stabil-ity according to TGA results.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBlock copolymersKineticsNaturalproductsPolymerizationTotalsynthesisSynthesisof Biobased Block Copolymers Using A Novel Methacrylated Methyl Salicylate and Poly (3-Hydroxybutyrate)Article643122551226510.1002/slct.202102977Q3WOS:000720942400045Q3
