Abstract
Methods of forming polymer material from rosin-derived material are provided. For example, a plurality of functionalized resin acids having a polymerizable functional group via controlled living polymerization can be polymerized into the polymeric material such that each polymer defines a functional end group and the polymeric material has a polydispersity index of about 1 to about 1.5. The resulting polymers are also described.
