One-Step Synthesis of Degradable Vinylic Polymer-Based Latexes via Aqueous Radical Emulsion Polymerization

Paul Galanopoulo et al.

Summary: Aqueous emulsion copolymerizations of dibenzo[c,e]oxepane-5-thione (DOT) with n-butyl acrylate (BA), styrene (S) and a combination of both were successfully performed. DOT showed limited solubility in BA compared to S, resulting in a more homogeneous integration of DOT units in the latex. Emulsion terpolymerization also produced stable latexes with a broad range of glass transition temperatures.

Understanding the Structure-Polymerization Thermodynamics Relationships of Fused-Ring Cyclooctenes for Developing Chemically Recyclable Polymers

Junfeng Zhou et al.

Summary: This study reveals that fusing four- and five-membered rings into cyclooctene can reduce the ring strain energies of the monomers and affect the enthalpy changes of polymerization. Despite the narrow range of enthalpy changes, different monomers exhibit varying ceiling temperatures at different concentrations. Furthermore, the presence of remote geminal substituents can influence the depolymerization temperature, even when not directly attached to the cyclooctene.

Toward Recyclable Polymers: Ring-Opening Polymerization Enthalpy from First-Principles

Huan Tran et al.

Summary: This study developed a first-principles computational scheme for accurately calculating the enthalpy of ring-opening polymerization (Delta H-ROP). The scheme demonstrated a smaller root-mean-square error compared to conventional approaches when validated on a diverse benchmark set. This development opens up new pathways for building a high-quality database of Delta H-ROP and accelerating the design of depolymerizable polymers.

Danielle E. Fagnani et al.

Summary: There has been an increased focus on sustainable polymers in recent years, but less attention has been paid to the end-of-life fate of polymers. It is suggested to place more emphasis on chemical recycling to promote a closed-loop plastic economy, in order to keep us on the path to sustainability.

Ring-opening polymerization of thiolactide by using thiol-amine combination

Masato Suzuki et al.

Summary: This study reports the ring-opening polymerization of thiolactide, where thiolactic acid undergoes cyclic condensation to form rac-thiolactide, which is then polymerized using a combination of thiol as initiator and DBU as catalyst. The polymerization process was found to be in equilibrium and displayed different structural characteristics and degradability compared to polylactide.

Hybrid monomer design for unifying conflicting polymerizability, recyclability, and performance properties

Changxia Shi et al.

Summary: The article introduces a new hybrid monomer design strategy that combines high ceiling temperature (HCT) and low ceiling temperature (LCT) sub-structures within the same monomer to achieve high polymerizability and depolymerizability. This innovative approach resulted in a polymer with high performance properties, demonstrating that the HCT/LCT hybrid monomer strategy is a powerful method for designing circular polymers with conflicting properties.
