Fig. 1. Design of bio-based alternatives for acrylates and coatings.

Fig. 1

(A) General strategy for bio-based alternatives instead of common petrochemical-based acrylate monomers to yield coatings. (B) Photooxidation of the biomass-derived furfural followed by derivatization toward alkoxybutenolide monomers comprising an acrylate type structure (acrylate unit is shown in pink).
