The present review highlights advances in the copolymerization of carbon dioxide (CO2)
and epoxides (oxiranes) to produce polycarbonates. Specifically, focus has been given to …

Carbon dioxide/epoxide copolymerization is an efficient way to add value to waste CO2 and
to reduce pollution in polymer manufacturing. Using this process to make low molar mass …

Controlled routes to prepare polyesters and polycarbonates are of interest due to the
widespread application of these materials and the opportunities provided to prepare new …

Proof of principles studies by Inoue and coworkers in the late 1960s clearly illustrated the
poorly controlled coupling of CO 2 and epoxides to provide polycarbonates. These early …

Production of biodegradable plastics from carbon dioxide, particularly as a means of
recycling industrial waste gas, is a promising advancement in environmental and energy …

The utilization of carbon dioxide as a comonomer to produce polycarbonates has attracted a
great deal of attention from both industrial and academic communities because it promises …

This article summarizes and reviews recent progress in the development of catalysts for the
ring-opening copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides. The copolymerization is an …

Controlling polymer composition starting from mixtures of monomers is an important, but
rarely achieved, target. Here a single switchable catalyst for both ring-opening …

Aliphatic polycarbonates synthesized from carbon dioxide (CO2) and epoxides are resource‐
saving, highly biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Since the discovery of the …
