Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thermoplastic block copolymer comprising at least one PA block and at least one PB block. The PA block represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer A, and the PB block represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer B. Monomer A is a vinyl, acrylic, diolefin, nitrile, dinitrile, acrylonitrile monomer, a monomer with reactive functionality, or a crosslinking monomer. Monomer B is a radically polymerizable triglyceride or mixtures thereof, typically in the form of a plant or animal oil. The present invention also relates to a method of preparing a thermoplastic block copolymer or novel thermoplastic statistical copolymers by polymerizing a radically polymerizable monomer with a radically polymerizable triglyceride or mixtures thereof via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT), in the presence of an free radical initiator and a chain transfer agent.

Claim (Index 21):
A thermoplastic statistical copolymer having a general formula of: [A i -B j -C k ] q ,\n wherein: A represents monomer A, which is a vinyl, acrylic, diolefin, nitrile, dinitrile, acrylonitrile monomer, a monomer with reactive functionality, or a crosslinking monomer; B represents monomer B, which is a radically polymerizable triglyceride or mixture thereof, in the form of a plant oil, animal oil, or synthetic triglycerides; C represents monomer C, which is a vinyl, acrylic, diolefin, nitrile, dinitrile, acrylonitrile monomer, a monomer with reactive functionality, or a crosslinking monomer; or a radically polymerizable triglyceride or mixtures thereof, in the form of a plant oil, animal oil, or synthetic triglycerides, provided monomer C is different than the monomer A or monomer B; i, j, and k are average number of repeating units of monomer A, monomer B, and monomer C, respectively, such that i and j are each greater than 0 and less than 1, k is 0 to less than 1, provided i+j+k=1; and q represents the number average degree of polymerization and ranges from 10 to 100,000.
