Renewable bio-derived monomers and vegetable oils have shown a potential use as a feedstock for the development of bio-based polymers. Copolymerization of these renewable monomers with elemental sulfur provides a new promising route for the development of a variety of sulfur-containing bio-based polymers meeting the goal of green chemistry and enabling the utilization of the vast amounts of by-product sulfur in oil and gas refineries. This article briefly reviews the development of different classes of bio-based polymers containing sulfur by inverse vulcanization of sulfur with a variety of vegetable oils and renewable monomers. A number of interesting applications of such new class of bio-based polymers and their perspective are also discussed. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. date: 2019 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85068557284&doi=10.1016%2fj.scp.2019.100158&partnerID=40&md5=16e9449ad8f3bb7683a2f5fbb450778c id_number: 10.1016/j.scp.2019.100158 full_text_status: none publication: Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy volume: 13 refereed: TRUE issn: 23525541 citation: Abbasi, A. and Nasef, M.M. and Yahya, W.Z.N.
