Exploration of natural sources for polymer synthesis is critical. We report the use of a lichen secondary metabolite, (+)-usnic acid, as a precursor for polymer network formation. The networks are synthesized via the use of visible light thiol–ene photo click chemistry, proceed under high conversions and possess glass transition temperatures above room temperature.
