Tailored synthesis of circular polyolefins
Accumulation of plastic waste in the environment is not only a pressing environmental problem but also a waste of resources. Developing chemically …
Atom transfer radical polymerization
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a synthetic method that harnesses radical polymerization to yield well-defined polymers of controlle…
Catalytic closed-loop recycling of polyethylene-like materials produced by acceptorless dehydrogenative polymerization of bio-derived diols
Petroleum-derived polyolefins exhibit diverse properties and are the most important and largest volume class of plastics. However, polyolefins are …
Scalable, biologically sourced depolymerizable polydienes with intrinsically weakened carbon–carbon bonds
Currently, there are few examples of circularly recyclable polymers with all-carbon backbones, probably owing to the challenge of using selective C…
