The contribution reports a unique type of lignin‐based (meth)acrylate polymers which are derived from syringaldehyde and vanillin and show high glass transition temperature ( T g ). The four (meth)acrylate monomers undergo free radical polymerization and yield the corresponding polymers in high yield (>80 wt%). The obtained polymers display relatively higher thermostability. Especially, the polymers demonstrate remarkably high glass transition temperature ( T g ), well exemplified by syringaldehyde‐derived polymers which show a T g up to 180 °C. This type of polymers can be applied as novel high temperature‐resistant plastics and even heat‐resistant additives for other general polymers.
