“Functional upcycling” of polymer waste towards the design of new materials

Chemical Society Reviews, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 52(14), P. 4755 - 4832

Published: Jan. 1, 2023

Diversification of polymer waste recycling is one the solutions to improve current environmental scenario. Upcycling a promising strategy for converting into molecular intermediates and high-value products. Although catalytic transformations small molecules have been actively discussed, methods characteristics upcycling new materials not yet addressed. Recently, functionalisation wastes (polyethylene terephthalate bottles, polypropylene surgical masks, rubber tires, etc.) their conversion with enhanced functionality proposed as an appealing alternative dealing recycling/treatment. In this review, term 'functional upcycling' introduced designate any method post-polymerisation modification or surface without considerable chain destruction produce upcycled material added value. This review explores functional detailed consideration most common polymers, i.e., polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, rubber. We discuss composition plastic waste, reactivity, available physical/chemical agents modification, interconnection between properties application. To date, successfully applied adsorbents (including CO2), catalysts, electrode energy storage sensing, demonstrating high Importantly, reviewed reports indicated that specific performance generally comparable higher than similar prepared from virgin feedstock. All these advantages promote diversification approach against postprocessing employed waste. Finally, identify limitations suggest future scope research each polymer, we comparatively analysed aspects those chemical mechanical recycling, considering resource costs, toxicity used chemicals, footprint, value product.
