ABSTRACT = {The inevitable future scarcity of fossil resources, coupled with sustainability considerations, have stimulated 
the use of renewable resources for material synthesis, and highly effi cient polymerization methods that meet 
the requirements of green chemistry have drawn attention to fatty acid-based polymers. Additionally, the 
polymerization of furan monomers and the exploitation of some of the chemical peculiarities of the furan 
heterocycle have generated a wide diversity of macromolecular materials. A novel approach is reviewed 
here, calling upon the combined use of both vegetable oils and their derivatives together with furans, as a 
promising technique to obtain new materials from two renewable resources. This succinct review provides an 
overview of the present strategies to produce linear and crosslinked thermally reversible polyadducts through 
Diels-Alder and other click reactions.},
