The constant increase of plastic waste released into the environment is a global problem
which is raising concern to the general population. Although there are many different …

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 …

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 …

Recently, polycarbonates have been proposed as alternative materials to poly (ethylene
oxide) as the polymeric matrix for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). Aliphatic …

In the last few years, polycarbonates have been identified as alternatives to poly (ethylene
oxide) as polymer electrolytes for lithium battery applications. In this work, we show the …

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 …

Allyl ether‐functional polycarbonates, synthesized by organocatalytic ring‐opening
polymerization of the six‐membered cyclic carbonate monomer 2‐allyloxymethyl‐2 …

Aliphatic polycarbonates (aPCs) have become increasingly popular as functional materials
due to their biocompatibility and capacity for on‐demand degradation. Advances in …

Conventional liquid electrolytes based lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) might suffer from serious
safety hazards. Solid‐state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are very promising candidate with …

Optimising the composite cathode for next-generation, safe solid-state batteries with
inorganic solid electrolytes remains a key challenge towards commercialisation and cell …
