Definition
Bio-based hydrocarbon polymers can be defined as polymers that consist of hydrogen and carbon atoms and are derived from natural compounds produced by living organisms, mainly plants. Although most hydrocarbon polymers are saturated polyolefins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly(α-olefins), this entry discusses those and other “hydrocarbon polymers” consisting mostly of hydrogen and carbon atoms, including polydiene, polystyrene, and related polymers, all of which are artificially produced via polymerization of the corresponding alkenes derived from the naturally occurring compounds used as the raw materials.
