Cationic polymerisation of β-pinene (βP) via earth abundant catalysis has been investigated as a route to low molar mass poly(β-pinene) (PBP) for surfactant applications. As a ‘greener’ alternative to the often hazardous and poorly abundant Lewis aci... Read More about Lewis acid ionic liquid catalysed synthesis of bioderived surfactants from β-pinene.
