Light-accelerated depolymerization catalyzed by Eosin Y

Valentina Bellotti et al.

Summary: Retrieving starting monomers from polymers synthesized by reversible deactivation radical polymerization has been proven effective in increasing recyclability and enabling industrial implementation. A novel method involving the use of Eosin Y under light irradiation has been discovered to trigger faster depolymerization even at lower temperatures. The activation of a macroCTA by Eosin Y results in accelerated macroradical generation, significantly improving current depolymerization approaches.

Reversed Controlled Polymerization (RCP): Depolymerization from Well-Defined Polymers to Monomers

Glen R. Jones et al.

Summary: Controlled polymerization methods allow for the precise design and preparation of polymeric materials. Recent work has shown that these methods also enable depolymerization of polymers under mild conditions. This perspective focuses on depolymerization from polymers synthesized by controlled polymerizations, such as radical, ionic, and metathesis polymerizations, and explores concepts to enhance depolymerization.

Fast Bulk Depolymerization of Polymethacrylates by ATRP

Ferdinando De Luca Bossa et al.

Summary: Fast bulk depolymerization of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) and poly(methyl methacrylate) prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was reported in the temperature range of 150 to 230°C. The depolymerization of Cl-terminated polymethacrylates was catalyzed by a CuCl2/TPMA complex and studied using TGA under isothermal conditions. Rapid depolymerization of 5-20 minutes was observed at 230 and 180°C. Preparative scale reactions achieved up to 84% depolymerization within 15 minutes at 230°C using a short-path distillation setup.

Copper(II) Chloride/Tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-Catalyzed Depolymerization of Poly(n-butyl methacrylate)

Michael R. Martinez et al.

Summary: In this study, a poly(n-butyl methacrylate) macroinitiator was depolymerized, and high concentrations of monomer were successfully recovered. This method achieved selective monomer recovery through rotary distillation, while also discovering the possibility of alkyl halide decomposition leading to reduced initiation efficiency and increased thermal stability of the polymer.

Reversing RAFT Polymerization: Near-Quantitative Monomer Generation Via a Catalyst-Free Depolymerization Approach

Hyun Suk Wang et al.

Summary: Researchers reported an efficient, catalyst-free depolymerization method for polymers made by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, with up to 92% yield. Their approach exploited the high end-group fidelity of RAFT polymers to generate chain-end radicals triggering rapid unzipping, enabling reconstruction of linear polymers or creation of new insoluble gels.

Depolymerization of Polymethacrylates by Iron ATRP

Michael R. Martinez et al.

Summary: Polymer recycling is gaining increasing attention in the context of a circular economy. This study reports the depolymerization of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) through controlled radical polymerizations mediated by iron chloride salts and iron powder. The most effective depolymerization was achieved using zerovalent Fe0 as a supplemental activator and reducing agent.

Summary: Controlled radical polymerization techniques allow for the synthesis of polymers with specific molecular weights and architectures. In this study, the role of light in triggering thermal depolymerization of polymers synthesized through reversible-addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization was investigated. By targeting specific electronic transitions, the depolymerization efficiency was enhanced.

Promoting halogen-bonding catalyzed living radical polymerization through ion-pair strain

Shiwen Huang et al.

Summary: In this study, triaminocyclopropenium (TAC) iodides were used as highly potent catalysts for halogen-bonding catalyzed living radical polymerization. The unique effect of ion-pair strain between the TAC cation and the iodide anion promoted high catalytic efficiency in halogen-bonding catalysis. The TAC iodides showed general applicability and surpassed previously reported organic iodide catalysts. Furthermore, the TAC-iodides also showed promising feasibility in catalyzing radical depolymerization.

Depolymerization of P(PDMS11MA) Bottlebrushes via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization with Activator Regeneration

Michael R. Martinez et al.

Summary: This study investigated the catalyzed depolymerization of a Cl-capped poly(poly(dimethylsiloxane) methacrylate) polymer mediated by an atom transfer radical polymerization catalyst at 170 degrees C. The depolymerization yield, rate, and selectivity were improved by increasing the ratio of [TPMA]/[CuCl2]. Electron transfer from the ligand contributed to the Cu(I) activator regeneration at high temperature, as proven by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.

Controlling dispersity in aqueous atom transfer radical polymerization: rapid and quantitative synthesis of one-pot block copolymers

Hyun Suk Wang et al.

Summary: The dispersity of a polymer is a key parameter in material design, and a rapid and quantitative method has been developed to tailor dispersity of polymers in aqueous atom transfer radical polymerization by using excess ligand to regulate the dissociation of bromide ions. This method allows for control over dispersity within a short time frame, high monomer conversions, and maintenance of high end-group fidelity.
