The extensive use of commodity polymer materials has led to the depletion of natural
resources and caused the undesirable problem of plastic pollution. In this context, the …

Here we present a series of homopolycarbonates (homo-PCs) and copolycarbonates (co-
PCs) based on a novel bicyclic diol octahydro-2, 5-pentalenediol (OPD) from naturally …

Plastics are excellent materials: they are light weight, long-lasting, easy to manufacture, and
relatively cheap. The ongoing development of new polymers and their production …

We report the rapid, one-pot synthesis of functional polycarbonates derived from renewable
alcohols (ie, glucose tetraacetate, acetyl isosorbide, lauryl alcohol, and ethanol) and a cyclic …

The development of chemically recyclable polymers serves as a promising strategy to solve
the plastic pollution issue. In this contribution, we prepared a seven-membered cyclic …

Designing easily degradable polymers has become a new challenge to overcome the post-
consumer plastic waste accumulation in the environment. Polycarbonates are important …

The development of completely recyclable polymers has become an emerging frontier in
polymer chemistry; however, the efficient synthesis of monomers or/and polymers with …

Found in all sectors of applications, synthetic plastics have become ubiquitous and versatile
materials in our modern life. However, most of them are produced from fossil resources and …

Chemical recycling to monomers (CRMs) of A–B–A block copolymers is governed by the
chemical structure and thereby the thermodynamic behavior of different block constituents …

Polycarbonate, poly (bisphenol A carbonate), PC, is an important engineering polymer with
a variety of optical and technical applications, whose demand is increasing year by year. Its …
