β‐Myrcene, a terpenic monomer, holds potential for developing sustainable polymer‐based materials with enhanced properties. This study examines the synthesis of a myrcene‐based monomer and its incorporation into unsaturated polyesters, focusing on polymerization, curing, and final properties. Unsaturated polyesters were synthesized with varying myrcene‐based monomer content (6, 12, and 24 mol%), phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Polymerization achieved conversion values of 0.92–0.93, resulting in polyesters with molar masses between 1400 and 1700 g mol−1 and dispersity indices of 2.0 to 2.3. Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) demonstrated short branch formation in myrcene‐modified polyesters and a high maleate‐to‐fumarate isomerization rate (92.66%–95.7%), affecting carbon–carbon double bonds per polyester mole (2.27 to 4.28) and final resin performance. Rheological analysis in a styrene solution (70/30 wt%) indicated shear‐thinning behavior, with viscosities ranging from 0.59 to 3.8 Pa·s, suggesting branching affects chain entanglement. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed decreased curing enthalpy with increasing myrcene content, and it was inferred that myrcene's double bonds did not participate in curing. Glass transition temperatures of cured polyesters (70–107 °C) correlate with enthalpy trends. Thermal stability of myrcene‐modified polyesters is similar to the reference polyester, highlighting myrcene's potential as a sustainable monomer for customizable unsaturated polyesters.
