The majority of post-consumer plastic waste is not recycled. Impediments to the recycling of
commodity polymers include separation, impurities and degradation of the macromolecular …

Carbon dioxide offers an accessible, cheap and renewable carbon feedstock for synthesis.
Current interest in the area of carbon dioxide valorisation aims at new, emerging …

The metallic catalyst-dominated alternating copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides has
flourished for 50 years; however, the involved multistep preparation of the catalysts and the …

The utilization of carbon dioxide as a comonomer to produce polycarbonates has attracted a

Abstract Poly (cyclopentene carbonate)(PCPC) produced by copolymerization of CO2 and
cyclopentene oxide (CPO) is a promising but challenging chemical recyclable polymer that …

The ring-opening copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides is a useful means to
make aliphatic polycarbonates and to add-value to CO2. Recently, the first heterodinuclear …

The copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides presents a transformative approach to
converting greenhouse gases into aliphatic polycarbonates (CO2-PCs), thereby reducing …

The catalysed ring opening copolymerizations (ROCOP) of carbon dioxide/epoxide or
anhydride/epoxide are controlled polymerizations that access useful polycarbonates and …

The biomedical applications of polyesters and polycarbonates are of interest due to their
potential biocompatibility and biodegradability. Confined by the narrow scope of monomers …
