Product Description
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.}
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as lactones. These are cyclic esters of hydroxy carboxylic acids, containing a 1-oxacycloalkan-2-one structure, or analogues having unsaturation or heteroatoms replacing one or more carbon atoms of the ring.
