Abstract:The development of new chemically recyclable polymers via monomer design would provide a transformative strategy to address the energy crisis and plastic pollution problem. Biaryl‐fused cyclic esters were targeted to generate axially chiral polymers, which would impart new material performance. To overcome the non‐polymerizability of the biaryl‐fused monomer DBO, a cyclic ester Me‐DBO installed with dimethyl substitution was prepared to enable its polymerizability via enhancing torsional strain. Impressively, … Show more
We present the state-of-the-art of circular polymers based on monomer and polymer design and reversible ring-opening and addition polymerization reactions without the involvement of other reactants.
