Abstract

Rosin, an abundant renewable natural resin obtained from exudation of pine trees, has attracted a great deal of attention because of its utilization as a feedstock for the preparation of polymers in the age of the depletion of fossil fuels. Dehydroabietic acid (DA) is one of important resin acid that could be produced with large scale and high purity. In this paper, we reported a new synthetic strategy to prepare a novel resin acid based monomer with acrylic group (DAHA) by sequential reaction of DA with 1,6-hexanediol and acryloyl chloride. The structure and properties of DAHA and DA monoester of 1,6-hexanediol (DAH), an intermediate compound, were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, DSC and GPC. The results showed that DAHA has high purity and could undergo free radical polymerization. DAHA is a soft monomer with the glass transition temperature of-23.52 °C and can impart flexibility to the polymer integrated. This study illustrates a new synthetic strategy to prepare a new class of resin acid based monomer.
