β-Myrcene (My), a natural 1,3-diene, and isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA), from partially bio-based raw materials sources, were copolymerized by nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) in bulk using the SG1-based BlocBuilder™ alkoxyamine functionalized with an N -succinimidyl ester group, NHS-BlocBuilder, at T = 100 °C with initial IBOMA molar feed compositions f  IBOMA,0 = 0.10-0.90. Copolymer reactivity ratios were r  My = 1.90-2.16 and r  IBOMA = 0.02-0.07 using Fineman-Ross, Kelen-Tudos and non-linear least-squares fitting to the Mayo-Lewis terminal model and indicated the possibility of gradient My/IBOMA copolymers. A linear increase in molecular weight versus conversion and a low dispersity ( Đ ≤ 1.41) were exhibited by My/IBOMA copolymerization with f  IBOMA,0 ≤ 0.80. My-rich and IBOMA-rich copolymers were shown to have a high degree of chain-end fidelity by performing subsequent chain-extensions with IBOMA and/or My, and by 31 P NMR analysis. The preparation by NMP of My/IBOMA thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), mostly bio-sourced, was then attempted. IBOMA-My-IBOMA triblock copolymers containing a minor fraction of My or styrene (S) units in the outer hard segments ( M  n = 51-95 kg mol -1 , Đ = 1.91-2.23 and F  IBOMA = 0.28-0.36) were synthesized using SG1-terminated poly(ethylene- stat -butylene) dialkoxyamine. The micro-phase separation was suggested by the detection of two distinct T  g s at about -60 °C and +180 °C and confirmed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). A plastic stress-strain behavior (stress at break σ  B = 3.90 ± 0.22 MPa, elongation at break ε  B = 490 ± 31%) associated to an upper service temperature of about 140 °C were also highlighted for these triblock polymers.
