Controlled polymerization methods are well-established synthetic protocols for the design
and preparation of polymeric materials with a high degree of precision over molar mass 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 …

We present the bulk depolymerization of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) at significantly
lower temperatures than previously reported methods through the incorporation of …

A photocatalytic ATRP depolymerization is introduced that significantly suppresses the
reaction temperature from 170 to 100° C while enabling temporal regulation. In the presence …

Fast bulk depolymerization of poly (n-butyl methacrylate) and poly (methyl methacrylate),
prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), is reported in the temperature …

We establish a synthetically convenient method to degrade polyacrylate homopolymers.
Carboxylic acids are installed along the polymer backbone by partial hydrolysis of the ester …

Although controlled radical polymerization is an excellent tool to make precision polymeric
materials, reversal of the process to retrieve the starting monomer is far less explored …

Depolymerization of polymers synthesized by reversible deactivation radical polymerization
(RDRP) has recently emerged as a promising chemical recycling method for a circular …

In this study, we present an efficient approach for the depolymerization of poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) copolymers synthesized via conventional radical polymerization. By …

In this work, we achieved a triggering degradation of polymers composed of carbon‐carbon
(C− C) bonded backbone without relying on introduction of labile heteroatom‐based bond …
