Abstract
The Cover Feature shows aromatic poly(dithioacetal)s, which are multifunctional materials for eco-friendly optics with a high refractive index (>1.7), visible transparency, thermal stability, on-demand degradability, and recyclability. Cyclic low-molecular-weight products from zinc-catalyzed polymer degradation lead to acid-catalyzed repolymerization to the raw polymer, representing a closed-loop recycling process without any deterioration in the optical properties. More information can be found in the Research Article by K. Oyaizu and co-workers.
