Proof of principles studies by Inoue and coworkers in the late 1960s clearly illustrated the
poorly controlled coupling of CO 2 and epoxides to provide polycarbonates. These early …

The utilization of carbon dioxide as a comonomer to produce polycarbonates has attracted a
great deal of attention from both industrial and academic communities because it promises …

Polycarbonates can be prepared by the copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide
as an inexpensive, abundant, nontoxic, and renewable feedstock. This review covers the …

The synthesis and characterization of atactic and isotactic linear poly (benzyl 1, 2-glycerol
carbonate) s are reported. The poly (benzyl 1, 2-glycerol carbonate) s were obtained via the …

The desymmetrization copolymerization of meso-epoxides with CO2 using chiral catalysts or
reagents is regarded as a valuable strategy for the synthesis of optically active …

Biocompatible poly (propylene carbonate)(PPC)/polycaprolactone (PCL) shape memory
blends were fabricated using melt blending. The shape memory performance of these …

Shape-memory polymeric materials triggered by body temperature were fabricated via
toughening sustainable poly (propylene carbonate)(PPC) with thermoplastic polyurethane …

The synthesis and characterization of a degradable version of poly (acrylic acid), poly
(glyceric acid carbonate), are reported. Specifically, atactic and isotactic poly (benzyl …

The production of chemical compounds from carbon dioxide could be a way to reduce this
major greenhouse gas and gain a cheap raw material base. A variety of potential reactions …

There are in general few examples where polymers can be effectively recycled to their
monomers. If this situation exists, the recycling of these monomers to polymeric materials …
