Polymeric derivatives of itaconic acid are gaining interest as biobased alternatives to petroleum-based monomers due to their versatility, renewable nature, commercial availability, and cost-effectiveness. Itaconate ester monomer's challenges incorporating in (meth)acrylic waterborne polymers are the low propagation rate, unfavorable reactivity ratios, and the depropagation process. To overcome these challenges, the seeded semibatch emulsion polymerization of 100% biobased dibutyl itaconate, methyl methacrylate, and butyl acrylate was investigated at different temperatures. Consequently, 30 wt % DBI was successfully incorporated within waterborne (meth)acrylates in short reaction times (4 h), obtaining high DBI incorporation (>90%). The results demonstrate that DBI incorporation influences the instantaneous monomer conversion, polymer's microstructure, and mechanical properties. By incorporating a biobased itaconate cross-linker, kinetics and mechanical characteristics of the polymers were improved. This combined approach can be implemented without altering industrial processes, resolving the commercialization dilemma for itaconate monomers to synthesize high-performance biobased polymers for adhesive and coating industries.

Itaconates available from renewable resources constitute a group of monomers that are used in several types of polymerizations. Their use in free-radical polymerizations (FRPs) is still limited due to the low propagation rate coefficients resulting in low polymerization rates and the occurrence of depropagation which is responsible for limited monomer conversion. Since FRP is considered very robust with few requirements concerning monomer purity, it is still interesting to investigate how itaconate FRP may become feasible.

Article Synopsis
- A new fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (DBP-FMIPs) was developed for the specific detection of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in food samples, using a combination of short amylose, a crosslinking agent, and fluorescent signals.
- *DBP-FMIPs showed high stability and a rapid response time (under 3 minutes), with a linear fluorescence intensity ratio response to DBP concentrations ranging from 0.020 to 20 mg/L, along with a low detection limit of 4.5 μg/L.
- *The probe successfully detected DBP in both liquor and drinking water, proving effective with recoveries of 88-107% and a low relative standard deviation, highlighting its

Paper used for packaging applications is often coated with thin polymer coatings to improve the properties, like printability and barrier properties, respectively. Today, these coatings are still often based on petroleum-based polymers. In this study, the fabrication of biobased thin film coatings is described.

The improvement of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance relies on the electron transfer efficiency between luminophore and coreactant. An ultrasensitive ECL micro-reactor with confinement-enhanced performance was prepared by using the covalent organic framework-LZU1-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF@COF-LZU1) as a platform to assemble enormous N,N-dibutyl-2-hydroxyethylamine (DBAE) and tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) [Ru(dcbpy)] into its pore channels. Compared to individual substances of γ-CD-MOF and COF-LZU1, the synergistic effects can conduce to the enhancement of the intensity, durability and sensitivity of the micro-reactor.
