Carbon dioxide utilisation: unlocking enhanced properties for oxygenated polymers

Abstract:

This thesis describes the synthesis of new oxygenated plastics and elastomers from CO2 and bio-derived feedstocks, where non-covalent cross-linking interactions between chains are employed to improve and tune thermomechanical properties. Networks are established through reversible metal-ligand bonding, macromolecular entanglements, and thiol-ene crosslinking during vat photopolymerization 3D printing. This thesis aims to develop strategies to improve the thermomechanical propert...
