摘要
En 中文
The design of circular polymers has emerged as a necessity due to the lack of efficient recycling methods for many commodity plastics, particularly those used in durable products. Among the promising circular polymers, polydiketoenamines (PDKs) stand out for their ability to undergo highly selective depolymerization in strong acid, allowing monomers to be recovered from additives and fillers. Varying the triketone monomer in PDK variants is known to strongly affect the depolymerization rate; however, it remains unclear how the chemistry of the cross-linker, far from the reaction center, affects the depolymerization rate. Notably, we found that a proximal amine in the cross-linker dramatically accelerates PDK depolymerization when compared to cross-linkers obviating this functionality. Moreover, the spacing between this amine and the diketoenamine bond offers a previously unexplored opportunity to tune PDK depolymerization rates. In this way, the molecular basis for PDK circularity is revealed and further suggests new targets for the amine monomer design to diversify PDK properties, while ensuring circularity in chemical recycling.
