Abstract Polymers that degrade on demand have the potential to facilitate chemical recycling, reduce environmental pollution and are useful in implant immolation, drug delivery or as adhesives debond demand. However, polymers made by radical polymerization, which feature all carbon-bond backbones constitute most important class of polymers, proven difficult render degradable. Here we report cyclobutene-based monomers can be co-polymerized with conventional impart resulting mechanically triggered degradability. The cyclobutene residues act mechanophores undergo a ring-opening reaction, causes rearrangement renders polymer chains cleavable hydrolysis under basic conditions. These broadly applicable free controlled polymerizations, introduce functional groups into backbone allow gated degradation high-molecular-weight materials cross-linked networks low-molecular-weight species.

Cross-linked polyethylene is one of the most widely used thermosetting plastics. Due to its low cost, lightweight, and exceptional insulation properties against electricity heat, it frequently as an material for wires cables. This polymer attracted interest in several different applications, including building services, piping systems, hydronic radiant heating, cooling etc. However, because XLPE a plastic with limited fluidity poor moldability, recycling this cross-linked form extremely important. irreversible covalent cross-linking, very challenging task, can contribute serious environmental issues, soil air pollution industrial waste buried landfills or removed by incineration. Therefore, kind network structure highly problematic. we need energy-efficient, cost-effective, eco-friendly process safeguard our ecosystem. In article, are systematically reviewing recent advances XLPE. The major challenges also discussed.

In this report, we demonstrate that polymethacrylates can undergo appreciable depolymerization, with mild conditions and without reactive end groups, using ball-mill grinding (BMG). For instance, the important commercial polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) underwent up to 41% depolymerization monomer within 8 min of grinding. We explored factors influence conversion found temperature (heating only 43 °C), addition a small amount liquid (μL tert-butyl alcohol), ball number/size be most parameters. also applied method other pendent substituent extent depolymerization. Addition was reverse effects were observed bulk among studied, PMMA had lowest in one highest conversions slurry. Notably, molecular weight residual polymer is remarkably low, ca. 1 kDa, demonstrating excellent degradation performance BMG. Overall, work provides mechanistic insight into reactions under ball-milling represents an step expanding BMG as tool for chemical recycling polymethacrylates.
