Chemical upcycling of polystyrene into targeted small molecules is desirable to reduce plastic pollution. Herein, we report the benzoyl products, primarily benzoic acid, using a catalyst-controlled photooxidative degradation method. FeCl3 undergoes homolytic cleavage upon irradiation with white light generate chlorine radical, abstracting an electron-rich hydrogen atom on polymer backbone. Under oxygen-rich environment, high MW (>90 kg/mol) degrades down <1 kg/mol and produces up 23 mol % products. A series mechanistic studies showed that radicals promoted via hydrogen-atom abstraction. Commercial efficiently in our method, showing compatibility system fillers. Finally, demonstrated potential scaling approach photoflow process convert gram quantities PS acid.

The design and synthesis of chemically recyclable polymers, which can be reutilized as their starting monomers or new value-added chemicals, has provided a practical approach to address the end-of-use problem polymer materials possible closed-loop method for material usage. More more attention been paid exhibit an increasing prominent role in sustainable development. Nowadays, polymers including polyesters, polythioesters, polycarbonates, polyacetals, polyamides, so on have made significant achievements. Consequently, this minireview summarizes examples achieving polymerization–depolymerization cycle access are categorized into seven parts based monomers.

Conversion of plastic wastes to fatty acids is an attractive means supplement the sourcing these high-value, high-volume chemicals. We report a method for transforming polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) at ~80% conversion with number-average molar masses up ~700 670 daltons, respectively. The process applicable municipal PE PP their mixtures. Temperature-gradient thermolysis key controllably degrading into waxes inhibiting production small molecules. are upcycled by oxidation over manganese stearate subsequent processing. ꞵ-scission produces more olefin wax yields higher acid-number than does ꞵ-scission. further convert large-market-volume surfactants. Industrial-scale technoeconomic analysis suggests economic viability without need subsidies.

Development of closed-loop chemically recyclable plastics (CCRPs) that can be widely used in daily life a fundamental solution to the global plastic waste crisis. Hence, it is great significance develop easy-to-recycle CCRPs possess superior or comparable material properties commodity plastics. Here, novel dual crosslinked CCRP, namely, supramolecular covalent adaptable networks (supra-CANs), reported, which not only displays mechanical higher than strong and tough polycarbonate, but also exhibits excellent solvent resistance as thermosets. The supra-CANs are constructed by introducing reversible noncovalent crosslinks into dynamic polymer networks, resulting highly stiff thermosets exhibit thermoplastic-like ductile behaviors well reprocessability rehealability. In contrast, analogs do have (CANs) show elastomeric with significantly decreased strength. Importantly, developed CANs converted back initial monomers high yields purity at room temperature, even additives, enables sustainable polymer-monomer-polymer circulation. This work provides new design principles for high-performance polymers substitutes conventional

The development of high-performance recyclable polymers represents a circular plastics economy to address the urgent issues plastic sustainability. Herein, we design series biobased seven-membered-ring esters containing aromatic and aliphatic moieties. Ring-opening polymerization studies showed that they readily polymerize with excellent activity (TOF up 2.1 × 105 h–1) at room temperature produce high molecular weight (Mn 438 kg/mol). variety functionalities allows us investigate substitution effect on polymerizability/recyclability monomers properties (such as Tgs from −1 79 °C). Remarkably, stereocomplexed P(M2) exhibited significantly increased Tm crystallization rate. More importantly, product P(M)s were capable depolymerizing into their in solution or bulk efficiency, thus establishing life cycle.
