Carbon dioxide utilisation in block polymers: catalysis and functional materials

Abstract:

The following thesis describes the synthesis of block polymers comprising polycarbonates (derived from carbon dioxide) and polyesters, and their evaluation as functional materials and possible renewable alternatives to current petrochemical-based plastics. The preparation of the polymers utilises efficient and sequence-controlled polymerisation catalysis, combining lactone ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) and epoxide/CO2 ring-opening copolymerisation (ROCOP) cycles through a si...
