Abstract: (Meth)acrylic polymers are massively produced due to their inherently attractive properties. However, the vast majority of these polymers are derived from fossil resources, which is not aligned with the tendency to reduce gas emissions. In this context, (meth)acrylic polymers derived from biomass (biobased polymers) are gaining momentum, as their application in different areas can not only stand the comparison but even surpass, in some cases, the performance of petroleum-derived ones. In this review, we highlight the design and synthesis of (meth)acrylic polymers derived from lactate esters (LEs) and lactate amides (LAs), both derived from lactic acid. While biobased polymers have been widely studied and reviewed, the poly(meth)acrylates with pendant LE and LA moieties evolved slowly until recently when significant achievements have been made. Hence, constraints and opportunities arising from previous research in this area are presented, focusing on the synthesis of well-defined polymers for the preparation of advanced materials.
