Abstract
This proposal aims to investigate alternative polymerization routes for synthesizing terpene-derived oligomers, with a focus on limonene, through both experimental and simulation methods. Specifically, the study will explore stepwise photopolymerization via the "thiol-ene" reaction, combining limonene with various dithiols, such as butane-1,4-dithiol, hexane-1,6-dithiol, and 2,2'-(ethylen…
