Polyethylene deconstruction to reusable smaller molecules is hindered by the chemical
inertness of its hydrocarbon chains. Pyrolysis and related approaches commonly require …

Polyethylene (PE) is the most widely produced synthetic polymer. By installing chemically
cleavable bonds into the backbone of PE, it is possible to produce chemically …

Water-soluble [P, O] Ni (II) catalysts enable the direct catalytic nonalternating
copolymerization of fundamental comonomers ethylene and carbon monoxide (CO) in water …

Polymeric materials play a pivotal role in our modern world, offering a diverse range of
applications. However, they have been designed with end-properties in mind over …

Polyolefins are the most widely produced type of plastics owing to their low production cost
and favorable properties. Their polymer backbone consists solely of inert CC bonds, making …

Recent advances in Ni (II) catalyzed, nonalternating catalytic copolymerization of ethylene
with carbon monoxide (CO) enable the synthesis of in-chain keto-functionalized …

Polyethylene (PE) is the most commonly used plastic type in the world, contributing
significantly to the plastic waste crisis. Microbial degradation of PE in natural environments …

Long‐chain polyamides (polyethyleneamides) were prepared from polyethylenes bearing in‐
chain carbonyl groups (polyethyleneketones) by the oxime formation and successive …

Upcycling is emerging as a crucial strategy for enhancing the value of polymers, driving the
transition toward a circular material economy. In this study, we present a facile chemical …

Non-biodegradable polyethylene waste accumulates in large quantities in the environment
posing a serious threat to the survival of creatures. Meanwhile, polyethylene suffers from …
