Exploiting sodium coordination in alternating monomer sequences to toughen degradable block polyester thermoplastic elastomers

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that are closed-loop recyclable are needed in a circular material economy, but many current materials degrade during recycling, and almost all are pervasive hydrocarbons. Here, well-controlled block polyester TPEs featuring regularly placed sodium/lithium carboxylate...
