Abstract

Chemical synthesis of polymers from carbon dioxide (CO₂) has been attracting a continuous amount of attention. This contribution explores the copolymerization of ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (EVL) synthesized from CO₂ and 1,3-butadiene with various cyclic carbonates (CC) derived from CO₂ and biomass diols. Following the “scrambling polymerizations” mechanism, EVL units are incorporated into polycarbonate backbones, resulting in random poly(ester-co-carbonate) P(EVL-co-CC) with functionalizable C═C double bonds. Kinetic studies and characterizations are conducted by NMR, MALDI-ToF MS, and SEC techniques. The obtained degradable P(EVL-co-CC)s having varying topologies, CO₂ and C═C double bond contents, and glass transition temperatures are suitable for diverse applications. Modification in situ or via a postpolymerization “thiol–ene” reaction produces a copolymer with tunable tensile strength and amphiphilic and hydrophilic properties. This work presents an advancement in the utilization of CO₂ to synthesize functional poly(ester-co-carbonate)s, contributing to the development of sustainable and green polymer chemistry.

期刊介绍： Macromolecules publishes original, fundamental, and impactful research on all aspects of polymer science. Topics of interest include synthesis (e.g., controlled polymerizations, polymerization catalysis, post polymerization modification, new monomer structures and polymer architectures, and polymerization mechanisms/kinetics analysis); phase behavior, thermodynamics, dynamic, and ordering/disordering phenomena (e.g., self-assembly, gelation, crystallization, solution/melt/solid-state characteristics); structure and properties (e.g., mechanical and rheological properties, surface/interfacial characteristics, electronic and transport properties); new state of the art characterization (e.g., spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, rheology), simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, multi-scale/coarse-grained modeling), and theoretical methods. Renewable/sustainable polymers, polymer networks, responsive polymers, electro-, magneto- and opto-active macromolecules, inorganic polymers, charge-transporting polymers (ion-containing, semiconducting, and conducting), nanostructured polymers, and polymer composites are also of interest. Typical papers published in Macromolecules showcase important and innovative concepts, experimental methods/observations, and theoretical/computational approaches that demonstrate a fundamental advance in the understanding of polymers.
