“…The problem of plastic waste is so vital that their weight in the ocean will be as much as fish by 2050 if no solutions are found for their recycling or biodegradability . Although the plastic materials are under pressure to be redesigned to meet recyclability criteria, there are some challenges in polyolefin recycling, such as the product low value and the lack of secondary markets, problems in sorting the mixed waste, and the thermodynamically unfavorable C–C bond dissociation. , Generally, polyolefin recycling technologies are classified as primary or re-extrusion, secondary or mechanical, tertiary or chemical, and quaternary or energy recovery. , Degradation chemistry paves the way to generate tunable functional groups with a raised value simulating plastic recycling.…”

Polyolefins play a crucial role in the polymer industry because of their low-cost monomers and well-established production processes. Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in direct and tandem copolymerization strategies that provide an opportunity of developing polyolefins bearing polar groups with distinctive architectures and properties. In this perspective, we first highlight new routes for the proficient synthesis of tailor-made functional polyolefins and briefly discuss their designing tactics. Then, we attempt to categorize these, recently appeared in the literature, innovative functional polyolefins on the basis of their applications. The prospected future applications of polar olefin copolymers include biomedical materials, catalysts, energy storage devices, and conductive polymers, which open up new arenas and paradigms for academic research and industrial products development. Critical issues concerning intelligent functional polyolefins and green chemistry are discussed, too.
