Abstract
In recent years, polymer chemistry has experienced an intensive development of a new field regarding the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic biobased monomers obtained from renewable plant sources. A one-step process for the synthesis of new vinyl monomers by the reaction of direct transesterification of plant oil triglycerides with N-(hydroxyethyl)acrylamide has been recently invented to yield plant oil-based monomers (POBMs). The features of the POBM chemical structure, containing both a polar (hydrophilic) fragment capable of electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic acyl fatty acid moieties (C15-C17) capable of van der Waals interactions, ensures the participation of the POBMs fragments of polymers in intermolecular interactions before and during polymerization. The use of the POBMs with different unsaturations in copolymerization reactions with conventional vinyl monomers allows for obtaining copolymers with enhanced hydrophobicity, provides a mechanism of internal plasticization and control of crosslinking degree. Synthesized latexes and latex polymers are promising candidates for the formation of hydrophobic polymer coatings with controlled physical and mechanical properties through the targeted control of the content of different POBM units with different degrees of unsaturation in the latex polymers.

The problem of depletion of fossil raw materials has become of global importance and is complicated by economic and environmental and political factors [1]

It was found that the molecular weight of the latex copolymers decreases with increasing unsaturation degree of the plant oil-based monomers (POBMs) and their content in the reaction mixture, which is explained by degradative chain transfer to unsaturated fatty acid chains [15,33]
Summary
The problem of depletion of fossil raw materials has become of global importance and is complicated by economic and environmental and political factors [1]. Due to the wide range of plant oils, the variety of their chemical compositions, and, in many cases, abandon of resources, they became an interesting object to be used in polymers synthesis as a renewable raw material. The synthesis of biobased monomers from renewable (resistance to water and chemicals) properties [9]. The synthesis of biobased monomers from resources isresources a promising for the synthesis of new environmentally renewable is aplatform promising platform for and the implementation synthesis and implementation of new friendly industrial polymer materials [10].
