Abstract
Monomers, polymers, or oligomers formed therefrom and methods of forming or utilizing monomers of formula I where R1 is a C1 to C4 alkyl; and X is —OH; —OM where M is lithium (Li), sodium (Na), or potassium (K), NH4+, R5NH3+, R52NH2+, R53NH+, R54N+ where R5 can independently be selected from alkyl, benzyl, and combinations thereof; —OR2 where R2 can be a C1 to C4 alkyl, 2-ethylhexyl, or a hydrocarbon moiety of bio-renewable alcohol or a hydrogenated derivative thereof; —NR3R4, —NR3—NR3R4, —NR3—OR4 where R3 and R4 can independently be H, a C1 to C4 alkyl, or combinations thereof.
