Abstract

S undergo depolymerization in the absence of any additional organic solvents, regenerating 92.0% of the high-purity (98.3%) original monomers, even with polyolefin blend plastics. Repolymerized polyesters still maintain their exceptional mechanical and thermal qualities. The successful application of this approach in polyesters opens up exciting possibilities for designing high-performance and recyclable bio-derived polyolefin-like materials.
