Sustainable polymers based on the biomass-derived renewable α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones, including α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone, γ-methyl-α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone, and β-methyl-α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone, are reviewed. Polymerization methods employed for the synthesis of such polymers are classified into four different categories according to polymerization types or mechanisms: free radical polymerization, coordination polymerization, group-transfer and anionic polymerization, and zwitterionic polymerization. In addition to synthetic methods, polymer properties, polymerization characteristics, as well as polymerization and stereochemical control mechanisms are also described.
