The reaction between carbon dioxide and epoxides is an attractive pathway for CO2-
utilisation as it can lead to the formation of two different, yet valuable, products: cyclic and …

Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

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 catalytic copolymerization of CO 2 with epoxides to give polycarbonates was discovered
nearly 50 years ago. The last 10 years have been particularly exciting for the development …

Aliphatic polycarbonates synthesized from carbon dioxide (CO2) and epoxides are resource‐
saving, highly biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Since the discovery of the …

Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to multicarbon products provides the storage of
renewable energy in the form of chemical bonds, as well as a means to displace fossil …

Polysaccharides are ubiquitous in nature, and play many critical roles in biology. As such,
the synthesis of polysaccharides and of polymers mimicking the structure or function of …

Microplastics (MPs) have become the major global concern due to their adverse effects on
the environment, human health, and hygiene. These complex molecules have numerous …

Pressure sensitive adhesives are ubiquitous in commodity products such as tapes,
bandages, labels, packaging, and insulation. With single use plastics comprising almost half …

Direct polymerization of CO2 and diols is promising as a simple and environmental-benign
method in place of conventional processes using high-cost and/or hazardous reagents such …
