Abstract Bio-based plastics derived from renewable starting materials are indispensable for the establishment of low-carbon green-sustainable society. However, aromatic bio-based plastics are hardly developed although they are expected to show very high thermal/mechanical performances. The cinnamates are one of the aromatic bio-based renewable materials and cinnamates-based photo-functional polyesters were prepared which showed high thermo-mechanical properties. On the other hand, environmentallydegradable heterocyclic polyamides including aliphatic/aromatic components derived

from itaconic acid showed higher performances than conventional aliphatic polyamides. The heterocyclic polyamides showed UV-triggered solubilization in water which can be expected to apply to a fishing line that is gradually solubilized in sea water under the sunlight. In addition, heterocyclic bio-based PAs derived from cinnamate-photodimer derivatives have a significant impact due to their excellent thermal stability, as well as transparency. Considering the cost/performance of bio-based polymer performances should give higher values and the higher possibility to materialize in industry. In this viewpoint, the aromatic bio-based polymers are excellent candidates. Further exploration of bio-based monomers and the development of cinnamate-derivative production as well as new monomer design present an outstanding prospect to meet the new and advanced horizons of polymer chemistry.

Introduction In recent years, polymers derived from biomass have been extensively studied, and numerous investigations were conducted including the development of polymers containing cyclic moieties derived from biomass like starch, beetroot, pulp or after fermentation of glucose.1 Bio-based and environmentally-benign polymers originated from renewable starting materials are significant for the establishment of greensustainable society.1 The research on bio-based polymers is based on aliphatic polyesters such as poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s2 which are directly derived from the microorganism polymerization system which has a supreme advantage in terms of short steps for polymer production. A polysaccharide, which can be derived from not only the microorganism but also fungi and plants have established the industrial area of polymer materials3-10. Proteins8 and other poly(amino acid)s9 have also been targeted in biomedical, food, and cosmetic industries.10 However, the biopolymer production system directly from microorganisms or plants have the limitation of molecular design for

fungi, and plants. Whereas, white-biotechnological approaches, i.e., a combination of biotechnology and chemical engineering, for bio-based polymer production have innovatively widened the macromolecular design to produce various aliphatic polymers such as polyamide 11,11 poly(glycolic acid),12 poly(lactic acid),13 and their derivatives. However, the bio-based polymers with aliphatic structures did not show enough high performances to apply in engineering plastic fields.14 The extension of the field for biobased polymer has been historically developed under strong relation with the development

and DuPont as BiomaxTM 17. On the other

However, structural control of lignin is too difficult in the current state of sciences and technologies to materialize in industry. Considering these backgrounds of bio-based polymer design, one of the important methodologies for the development of high-performance bio-based polymers is the usages of small aromatic biomolecules as renewable starting materials.22,23 Here we review the recent researches on the development of high-performance bio-based polymers derived from aromatic renewable starting biomolecules. In this review, monomers derived from plant biomass such as glucose are called “phytomonomers”.25,26 The phenolic phytomonomers are used for the synthesis of biobased polymers.26,27 Following sections have been classified into polyesters26,28 and

The aforementioned approaches allow the establishment of a new class of high-performance materials beyond bio-based polymers which will contribute to the industrial polymer materials field in the future. Polyesters

Biobased polyester Polyesters are mostly widely commodity plastics used in our daily life such as in food containers, fibers, coating, packaging, rubbers, and composites materials.4,32 As we know the concerns around energy shortage and environmental pollution are highlighted in recent years.32 Therefore alternative biobased polyesters have attracted enormous attention both in academic and industrial fields.4 Polyesters can be prepared by different methods such as through a polycondensation reaction of diacid, hydroxy acids or anhydride and secondary alcohol or via a lactone ring opening polymerization.33,34 Presently, various essential biomass-based polyesters35 are being used in industrial biological material, such as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), polylactic acid (PLA)35, poly(-

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are the only bioplastics fully produced completely by microorganisms with Tg between -50 to 4 oC, and Tm ranging from 60 to 170 oC.37 Some of the diols such as 2,3-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, and 1,10decanediol are potentially biobased monomers used for the syntheses of polyesters.37,38

Polymerization of phytomonomers A hydroxy acid biomolecules can be used as a phytomonomer for bio-based polyesters. Phenolic acids have ideal structures for phytomonomers of aromatic polyesters. Especially One of the most important phenolic acids is p-coumaric acid (4hydroxycinnamic acid; 4HCA)49 which can be derived petrochemically but is a very important phytochemical as a base precursor for lignin biosynthesis. 4HCA is produced via the enzymatic reaction of phenylalanine with phenylalanine ammonia lyase, and Cyt P450-dependent monooxygenase.25,50 4HCA is also available in several photosynthetic

Other coumaric acid derivatives (Figure 2), ferulic acid (3-methoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid; MHCA), caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid; DHCA), sinapic acid (3,5-dimethoxy-4hydroxycinnamic acid; DMHCA) have also been selected as phytomonomers since these molecules are commonly available in various plants which follows through some pathways of lignin biosynthesis.25,50,54 Furthermore, since the enzymatic conversion of amino acids such as L-phenylalanine (Phe) and L-tyrosine (Tyr) to the coumaric acid derivatives is well defined and straightforward, it is feasible to scale-up for massproduction24,55 These phytomonomers are known to be biodegraded by microbial action.56 We also used 3-hydroxycinnamic acid (3HCA) whose biosynthetic pathway was not found, but it contained in lignin57-58 presumably as a result of lignin degradation.

phosphate derivatives were used, multimodal peaks were observed in the analytical curve of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) to suggest side/uncontrolled reactions during the polymerization.61 On the other hand, the polymers prepared in the presence of HT catalyst (0.4-0.6 wt%) shows mono-modal molecular weight distribution, indicating that the HT efficiently catalyzed the acidolysis reaction of the carboxylic acid with the acetyloyloxy groups and significantly reduced the side reactions. HT belongs to the layered-double-hydroxides family, and the hydroxyl groups of HT surface are important for their catalytic activities. HT layers were found to promote acidolysis polymerization and the molecular weight increases with increasing a layer structure ordering evaluated by X-ray diffraction.61 Then, we speculate that the rigid-rod chains of polymers can be adsorbed in the ditches at the end of layer structures to avoid the additional side reaction of oxygen or hydroxyls to cinnamoyl double bonds.

However, it was impossible to prepare PDMHCA by the same method presumably due to steric hindrance of two methoxyl groups contiguous to hydroxyl.25,61 The introduction of the comonomer units in the polymer structure affects the polymer rigidity, and in-turn provides a novel technique to regulate the thermo-mechanical properties.62

Tg, melting values, Tm, and 10 % weight loss, Td10, ranging 130-220 oC, 220-260 oC, and 315-390 oC, respectively. These values are much higher than those of the conventional petroleum-based semi-aromatic polyesters such as Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and also some bio-based polyesters from vanillic acid and glycolic acid

63

respectively. S. Miller et al. reported that semi-aromatic bio-

based polyesters of hydrogenated ferulic acid showed the Tg value of 73 oC,64 which was lower than those of above coumarate-derived polyesters. However, furan-based polyester which is produced after using of aliphatic diols, isosorbide have higher thermal properties.

Besides it is noteworthy that the chain-end modification of poly(lactic acid)s by cinnamoyl derivatives increased thermal degradation temperature, according to the recent literature by K. Kan et al.67 Another character of a p-coumarate moiety in the polyester is mesogenic to induce the formation of a thermotropic liquid crystalline (LC) structure. 4HCA homopolymer has a p-coumarate moiety to exhibit nematic LC phase where the polymer chains are randomly located, but their orientation axes were aligned to n-director.68 Crossed-polarizing microscopy was used to demonstrate the LC exhibition by birefringence observation which appeared around 210-215 ºC as shown in Figure 3 (P4HCA: Schlieren texture). An interesting phenomenon was observed that the crystallization from the nematic phase by heating to 280 ºC presumably due to postpolymerization or decarboxylation, accompanying with the transformation of the microscopic texture from the Schlieren to a needle shape.68 The homopolymers P3HCA and PDHCA did not show the LC phase (Figure 3), and then m-coumarate moiety did not work as a mesogen. The mesogenic behavior of 4HCA units was kept in the copolymers. Hyperbranched copolyesters poly(4HCA-co-DHCA)s exhibited a thermotropic LC phase, where the Schlieren texture was observed by crossed polarizing microscopy (Figure 3). The texture was observed more clearly in the copolymers synthesized in the presence of HT than other alkalescent catalysts61. The

LC copolymers, poly(3-benzylidene amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid-co-4-hydroxycinnamic acid), (structure: Figure 4) have a fluorescent side group of Shiff base which was derived from 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (34AHBA).69 34AHBA was wholly-aromatic amino acid derived from Streptomyces sp (Figure 5). The LC oriented film of the copolymer showed a polarized emission whose intensity depended on the direction of polarized excitation light to the n-director. As we recently reported, thermotropic liquid crystalline polybenzoxazoeamide and poly(benzoxazole-co-diazole) has been prepared. The polybenzoxazoeamide the longer alkyl chain induces the lower Tg is around to be 197-240 oC higher than conventional polymers such as PA-11 and PLA.69

Mechanical properties The polymer chains in the LC state are easily orientated at the molecular level to impart better mechanical properties. Among these polymers, poly(4HCA-co-DHCA)s showed the best values of mechanical properties.68 The mechanical bending test of the oriented copolymer samples showed the mechanical strengths at the break, Young’s moduli, and strains at the break, ranging between 25-63 MPa, 7.6-16 GPa, and 1.2-1.3, respectively.68,70 The Young,s moduli and tensile strength of poly(4HCA-co-DHCA)s61 were higher than transparent polycarbonates but lower

The hybridization with reinforcement fillers were one of the general methods to improve mechanical properties. Renewable Kenaf fibers was used for preparing the hybrids of the poly(4HCA-co-DHCA)s, but the mechanical properties were not very remarkably improved.

However, the negative birefringence suggests that the rigid polymer backbone including with the phenylene-vinylene groups in their main chains of the polymer which enhances the orientation along the GF axes. The polymer chains were oriented if the GF was incorporated into the resin in the LC state. As a result, the mechanical strength measured by the three-point bending test showed a good correlation with the GF composition, to attain ca. 140 MPa mechanical strength at break, which is high enough to use as an engineering resin. The biobased using aromatic amino acid 3,4 AHBA with aliphatic diamines (n=5) gave poly(benzoxazole-amide)69 which shows tensile strength and Young’s moduli as 85 MPa and 3.1 GPa (Figure 7).

Recently, Wang et al. reported that

poly(DHHCA-co-4HPPA) (AB2 type) prepared via thermal polycondensation of 3,4dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (DHHCA) and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid (4HPPA) is expected to have bio-adhesive properties. The adhesive strength of the copolymers depends on the different ratio of DHHCA /4HPPA which lead to a better adhesive strength as compared with values of 10.3 MPa on carbon, 9.6 MPa on glass, and 6.2 MPa on steel26.

Photoreactions Cinnamic acid derivatives have been very famous for photoreactive chemicals, and P4HCA also shows the photonic [2+2] cycloaddition reaction in the nematic state.70 The photoreactivity of the poly(4HCA-co-DHCA) copolymers shows photo-tunable hydrolysis behavior in an alkaline buffer solution.25 The copolymers formed the photoreactive nanoparticles by controlled reprecipitation method, and the nanoparticles showed reversible size changes from the 860 nm diameter to 420 nm. However, UV irradiation over 280 nm wavelength and rapidly recovered to 620 nm upon subsequent irradiation at 254 nm, based on reversible photonic [2+2] cycloaddition and cleavage (Figure 6a).72

The size change can be derived from the interchain distance controlled by photoirradiation. The ultraviolet light was irradiated to the surface of P3HCA film which was more easily processed than other homopolymers prepared in this research, to induce the photo bending behavior

73.

Since Tg of P3HCA was around 120 oC, the film

was a kind of hard plastic at room temperature, and the photo bending speed was slow. If the Tg was decreased, the photo bending should be accelerated. The diacid monomer (BMOPS) based on 4HCA including succinyl group was synthesized and BMOPS was polycondensed with various diols (nC) in the presence of GeO2 used as transesterification catalyst, to create the polyester abbreviated as poly-nC, n (no of carbon) (Figure 6b)28. The GeO2 was efficient catalyst to favor transesterification with the number-average, and weight-average molecular weight ranged between Mn = 1.9x104 g/mol and Mw = 4.8x104 g/mol, respectively. The decomposition temperature (10 % weight loss temperature) and Tg of the polyesters were mostly within the range of 319-335 oC and 36-64 oC respectively. The semi-aromatic polyesters film were prepared by a hot press machine at 140 oC with 3 MPa pressure which was further utilized to study the shape memory behaviors. The films were heated to above the glass transition

Further, it was investigated under UVlight (280-450 nm) was exposed from upper side with the intensity of 65 mW/cm2 the free edge of film quickly lifted to form a concave shape. The bending speed of the polymer was controlled by the intensity of UV light, in which the diol group affects the bending movement behavior and therefore, it should be derived from [2+2] cycloaddition of cinnamoyl double bond.28 After the external load of UV treatment (280-450 nm) it deforms the shape at 70 oC and then further recovers its original position after UV (λ < 250 nm). Further, the shape recovery cycle of poly2c was performed under light and heat control, with a particular shape of film gingko leaf processed by hot press at 140 oC under pressure of 2MPa for 30 s as shown in Figure 8. The shape of gingko leaf changes to a flying swan at λ= 280-450 nm after cooling down it changes to sleeping swan (screw types) in about 10 sec. In this process, after UV treatment of the film, surface forms the covalently cross-linked structure through photocycloaddition which stabilizes the flying swan forms. The sleeping swan (screw type) shaped polymer was infused into the water at 60 oC, above its glass transition. The shape of the flying swan was recovered. In this process, the shape was additionally recovered into the original

The multiple kinds of shape memory realized by two external stimuli after heat and photo-irradiation may lead to a verity of potential application in medical and light-driven actuators. Shape memory polymers possess the ability to memorize actual shape and recover their original shape in response to appropriate external stimuli. Shape memory was mostly induced by external stimuli like heat and UV, etc for the use of the biomedical application. External stimuli, especially thermal and UV stimuli confirm through contact or a particular wavelength and were absorbed by the unsaturated bond.28 UV irradiated to facilitate shape-memory effect by [2+2] addition reaction, such irradiation memorizing diverging effect but after mechanical stimuli enhancement of cross-linking density.

However, degradability92 was the issues of useful

development in terms of degradability; quantitative structure-properties measurements are lacking.88 The Furan based polyamides derived from bio-based monomer have a high potential to make high-performance properties. Some of the researchers have reported about the soil degradability, but it takes a longer time for complete degradation.93,33,44 On the other hand, path-breaking advancement for the syntheses of aromatic diamines through [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction of the 4ACA (4aminocinnamic acid) further used for the syntheses of ultrastrong-transparent bioplastics.The degradability of bio-derived polymers into monomers is important in terms of sustainability but stable backbone with aromatic rings and amide bonds that typical hydration methods such as biodegradation would be ineffective.88 A system comprising hydrolysis and photodegradation was tested to accomplish their chemical recycling chemically.

IA has been an attractive bio-derived acid which contains two carboxylic acids with  -unsaturated double bonds30,31. At first, IA was synthesized through a citric acid cycle with a low yield. However considerable research efforts have been dedicated to improving the production efficiency, and IA is fermented from carbohydrate by fungi Aspergillus terrus (efficiency: 80-85 g/L)90,91 but recently, the introduction of Aspergillus terreus gene in Aspergillus niger which enhances the production level up to 135 g L-1. The worldwide production of IA is estimated to be more than 80,000 tons each year and sold at a price of around US$ 1.8-2/kg and due to high potential demand of these compounds expected to grow by 5.5-6 % every year until 2023. 91,92 Next, we have the study of polymerization of IA, and their derivative has been extensively studied.30,31 Specifically, the radical polymerization of IA and various copolymers such as polyester and heterocyclic polyamides have been an active area of research.31,94 The vinyl-type polymer of IA including their copolymers with styrene butadiene, acrylonitrile, and methyl acrylate possessed low thermal/mechanical

Nowadays, there is a continually growing demand for furonate-based polymers; it is an attempt to substitute the petroleum-derived terephthalate-based polyamides.47 The furan derivatives polyamides can be prepared by using aliphatic and aromatic diamines after condensed with furan derivatives carboxylic acid 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) to produces polyamides.48,65 The growing interest of the 2,5-FDCA (furan dicarboxylic acid) by oxidation of 5-HMF (5-hydroxymethylfurfural) obtained after dehydration as shown in Figure 12.96,48,65 In the past, furan derivatives polyamide was not considered exceptional due to its low thermo-mechanical performance because following

Both values of

Tg and T10 were sufficient for the application of polymer as an industrial plastic with high thermoresistant performance. The stress-strain curve of the maximum tensile strength and Young’s modulus were σ = 356 MPa and E = 11.4 GPa, respectively. All the materials possessed high molecular weight with high glass transition, but higher than those of aliphatic counterparts. The main attraction for replacement of furan derivatives polyamide with itaconic acid based polyamides is to explore the possibility of soildissolubility and soil degradability upon completion of their usage.88

The Tg of all polymers was ≈ −45 °C and the Tm varied from -15°C to 50 °C.102 Rosins are classified into three types’ tall oil, wood rosin and gum rosin.

The high heat resistance is directly related to the

heterocyclic moiety and hydrogen bonding in the polymer backbone. The obtained tensile strength of aliphatic polyamide fiber was in the range of 65-165 MPa, and Young’s modulus was in the range of 430-2800 MPa, respectively. The N-substituted rigid ring provides extra stability, its fibers can be stretched easily but restrict to get high elongation at break. The elongation at break of aliphatic polyamides ranged 0.018-0.049 which were low due to the rigidity of N-substituted pyrrolidone ring. In the case of copolymers, elongation at break is drastically increased to 0.04-0.07 as compared with homopolymers. This might be entropic effects of the presence of different flexible alkyl chains in the polymer backbones.31,22

Then IA-based polyamides were synthesized with aromatic diamines to prepare high-performance bio-based polyamides (Figure 17)22 Tg, and Td10 ranged 156-240 oC and 370-400 oC of m-xylylenediamine, pxylylenediamine, and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether based polyamide, respectively.

Tg values were higher than those of aliphatic polyamides, but processability is too low to prepare the specimen for the mechanical test due to their rigidity of aromatic ring as well as non-planarity of pyrrolidone ring. The copolymerization of aromatic polypyrrolidones with aliphatic one were tried to prepare, but the resulting copolymer resins were too brittle.

Degradability The aliphatic polypyrrolidones were not soluble in water but became soluble in alkaline water after stirring at 60 oC about pH 9-10.30,31 FT-IR and 1H-NMR analysis demonstrated the ring opening reaction of pyrrolidones shown at the bottom of Figure 17, which induced to solubilize the polyamides.

Additional analysis of polymer resin in soil with pH 7.5-7.9 was examined concerning changes in shape and weight loss, and molecular weights were examined. Polymer resin and biodegradable PLA (positive control) were buried inside the soil with polyethylene nets and dug out after one year.

The

prepared nanohybrids structure favors the ionic/van der Waals interaction between clay and PA, which disrupt dislocation of clay. In order to achieve well-exfoliated morphologies and subsequently to improve properties, it is necessary to use organic/inorganic Nano clay. The clay used as a NaMMT which further treated with benzyl ammonium chloride, alkyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methyl ammonium chloride designated as (ArMMT) and (OHMMT).

The synthesized PA and its nanohybrids

Tg of the neat polyamide appeared at around 73 oC while increasing the content of the NaMMT from 1 wt% to 7 wt% decreased Tg to 60 oC. When other clays of organically-modified MMT were uses such as ArMMT and OHMMT after cryogenic hybridization, the decrease in

Tg was only slight. However, a cryogenic hybridized sample showed a Tg value of 61 oC which was slightly higher than a noncryo-treated sample (57 oC). The reinforcement

effects of clay on PA enhance mechanical strength and hardness. However, the used NaMMT had a ductilization effect because of catalytic activities over the pyrrolidone ring that improve elongation degree. Since Young’s moduli were enhanced, this is not a simple plasticizing effect. The drastic improvement of strain energy density was attributed to the catalytic effect which further confirmed the interaction of the silicates layer with the pyrrolidone moiety. The tensile strength of without/with cryo-treated nanohybrids were: with NaMMT (102 MPa, 129MPa), with OHMMT (170MPa, 203 MPa) and with ArMMT (185 MPa, 217 MPa).

The improvement in modulii were with

nanohybrids such as NaMMT (2.7 GPa, 2.5 GPa), with OHMMT (4.8 GPa, 5.1 GPa) and with ArMMT (5.2 GPa, 5.3 GPa).

Conclusion and future outlook

The cinnamates-based photo-functional polyesters such as poly(p-coumaric acid-cocaffeic acid) showed high thermo-mechanical properties and can be used as a commodity to the high-tech application. On the other hand, environmentally degradable heterocyclic polyamides derived from itaconic acid showed higher performances than

conventional aliphatic polyamides. The heterocyclic polyamides which are solubilized in water under the ultraviolet irradiation will solve problems for serious issues for marine creatures such as a fishing line that is left in the ocean. It is believed to provide a clue and an initiative step for solving plastic waste problems. In this viewpoint, the aromatic bio-based polymers are excellent candidates. Further exploration of bio-based monomers and the development of cinnamate derivative production as well as new monomer design present an outstanding prospect to meet the new and advanced horizons of polymer chemistry. The series of bio-based polymers will contribute great impact in the materials world because of the new development of human prosperity along with a low-carbon sustainable society.
