Unraveling substituent effects on the glass transition temperatures of biorenewable polyesters

Biorenewable feedstocks allow the design of polymers with targeted properties and functionalities. Here the authors report a series of high glass transition temperature sugar-based polyesters and investigate how substituents affect their thermal properties.
