Switchable catalysis improves the properties of CO2-derived polymers: poly(cyclohexene carbonate-b-ε-decalactone-b-cyclohexene carbonate) adhesives, elastomers, and toughened plastics

Carbon dioxide/epoxide copolymerization is an efficient way to add value to waste CO2 and to reduce pollution in polymer manufacturing. Using this process to make low molar mass polycarbonate polyols is a commercially relevant route to new thermosets and polyurethanes. In contrast, high molar mass p...
