Abstract
Recyclable polyethylene-like multiblock polymers offer tunable mechanical properties spanning LLDPE and LDPE while maintaining high melting temperatures. Synthesized using dehydrogenative polymerization, the glass transition temperature of these materials can be modulated through side-chain branching. They demonstrate chemical recyclability, selective depolymerization in mixed streams, and adjustable adhesive strength, promoting circularity and sustainable solutions for the plastic waste crisis, as reported by Garret M. Miyake et al in their Research Article (e202415707).
