Abstract
En 中文
Polymers have become an essential part of modern life and the global economy on account of their cost-effectiveness and versatile properties. However, most postconsumer polymer wastes are unrecycled, leading to environmental pollution and resource wastage. Depolymerization, as an efficient chemical recycling approach, holds great promise in establishing a circular polymer economy. In this review, we attempt to highlight recent and significant advancements in depolymerization methodologies. Two key research topics are discussed: (1) depolymerization of commodity polymers to produce reusable monomers and high-value chemicals; (2) depolymerization of intrinsically depolymerizable polymers. It is anticipated that this review will reflect the present status and future trends of this rapidly evolving realm of depolymerization.
