Our approach to obtaining lactic acid-based polymers entails the use of an environmentally friendly monomer, derived from lactic acid (ELA), presenting double-bond functionality, allowing it to undergo free-radical polymerization, while further having an eco-friendly water-based miniemulsion polymerization process. It has been demonstrated that the ELA/methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymer can successfully be synthesized. Highly stable latexes were obtained at high conversion. The incorporation of ELA and its effect on the copolymer properties were evaluated; results indicated that polymer properties such as average molar masses and glass transition temperatures are strongly dependent on the ELA composition.  aEnvironmental sustainability  aLactic acid  aMethylmethacrylate  aPolymerization  aSustainable agriculture  aÁcido Lático  aAgricultura Sustentável  aDesenvolvimento Sustentável  aLatex  aMetil  aEcofriendly latex  aELA  aMMA1 aGONCALVES, S.
