ResumoABSTRACT Nitroxide‐mediated polymerization (NMP) of isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA) and tridecyl methacrylate (TDMA), derived from sustainable feedstocks, with a low fraction of acrylonitrile (AN) co‐monomer were conducted with unimolecular initiator BlocBuilder‐MA™ (BB) and the succinimidyl ester‐functionalized form, NHS‐BB. IBOMA and TDMA‐rich compositions were both polymerized at 100 °C in a controlled manner (i.e., linear increase in number average molecular weight [Mn] with conversion up to ∼40% and low dispersity, Đ < 1.5). SG1‐terminated poly(IBOMA‐ stat ‐AN) macroinitiator was then cleanly chain‐extended with poly(TDMA‐ stat ‐AN) and the diblock copolymers exhibited two distinct glass transition temperatures (Tgs), indicative of microphase separation. IBOMA/TDMA/AN terpolymers with different IBOMA/TDMA molar ratios were also synthesized where terpolymers with higher IBOMA content had higher apparent rate constants and higher Tgs. Moreover, chain growth was linear up to conversions of ∼60% and all Đ s were 1.51 to 1.64. Finally, 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was incorporated into the IBOMA/TDMA/AN system, resulting in statistical quadripolymers. The quadripolymer Tg decreased with increasing TDMA content and Mn ranged from 12 to 15.4 kg mol −1 and the Đ were 1.39 to 1.54, suggesting the successful incorporation of sustainably sourced monomers into quadripolymers with a broad range of tunable Tgs via NMP with additional functionalities from HEMA. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
