Advancing the Development of Recyclable Aromatic Polyesters by Functionalization and Stereocomplexation

Hua-Zhong Fan et al.

Summary: This contribution focuses on the development of innovative synthetic polymer systems for advanced material applications and sustainable development. Aromatic polyesters were successfully prepared through a facile one-pot synthesis and showed high-performance properties such as high thermal stability, crystallinity, mechanical strength, ductility, and toughness. The functionalizable moieties of the polyesters allowed for post-polymerization modifications and the polymers exhibited excellent circular life cycle through selective depolymerization into monomers.

Towards high-performance sustainable polymers via isomerization-driven irreversible ring-opening polymerization of five-membered thionolactones

Pengjun Yuan et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that irreversible ring-opening polymerization of biomass-derived thionolactones is an effective strategy for producing sustainable polymers with renewability and high performance properties, which are thermodynamically forbidden under ambient conditions. This strategy allows the conversion of traditionally unachievable five-membered lactones into practical materials with a range of potential applications.

Chemical Upcycling of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) into Bicyclic Ether-Ester Monomers toward Value-Added, Degradable, and Recyclable Poly(ether ester)

Zheng Li et al.

Summary: Chemical recycling of plastic wastes to convert into value-added products is an attractive strategy to reduce fossil fuel consumption and plastic pollution. This study demonstrates the upcycling of P3HB into valuable monomers and subsequent polymerization to produce degradable and recyclable polymers. The synthesized monomers undergo ring-opening polymerization catalyzed by Sn(Oct)(2) to form amorphous materials, which can be depolymerized back to monomers for closed-loop recycling.

Chemically recyclable thermoplastics from reversible-deactivation polymerization of cyclic acetals

Brooks A. Abel et al.

Summary: The study introduces a reversible-deactivation CROP method using a commercial initiator and catalyst to synthesize poly(1,3-dioxolane) with comparable tensile strength to some commodity polyolefins. Depolymerization of PDXL using strong acid catalysts efficiently returns monomer, even from a waste mixture of commodity plastics. This efficient polymerization method offers a tough thermoplastic material that can undergo selective depolymerization to monomer.
