Facile synthesis, structure and properties of CO2-sourced poly(thioether-co-carbonate)s containing acetyl pendants via thio-ene click polymerization

Yi-Feng Zhang et al.

Summary: This study presents a facile and effective method for synthesizing CO2-sourced sequence-controlled polymers through consecutive organocatalyzed carboxylative cyclization, ring-opening transesterification, and subsequent photo-initiated thio-ene click polymerization. Various units can be introduced into the polymer chain, and the structural characterization was identified by FT-IR, H-1-NMR, and C-13-NMR spectroscopy. The polymers exhibit novel degradation ability and blue fluorescence under UV irradiation, making this strategy a promising method for constructing CO2-sourced sequence-controlled polymers with diverse structure and functionality.

Fabiana Siragusa et al.

Summary: In this study, a new depolymerization method for step-growth polymers is reported, which can be degraded into their native precursor or added-value offspring, while generating hemiacetal cyclic carbonate. The specific functionalities in the polymer trigger degradation at a certain temperature and in the presence of an organic base catalyst, and can be fully degraded within 2 hours without the need for solution conditions.

Characterising different molecular landscapes in dynamic covalent networks

Filip Van Lijsebetten et al.

Summary: Dynamic covalent networks provide a unique way of controlling macroscopic material properties by linking them to the underlying chemistry. Researchers have developed a rheological paradigm that correlates the composition of a reactive polymer segment to the rate of network rearrangement. They discovered that a generalised Maxwell model can separate and quantify the dynamic behavior of each type of reactive segment individually, which is crucial for understanding the mechanics of the final material. By combining statistical modeling and rheology measurements, possible bond catalysis and dissociation were related to structural changes.
