Abstract
In a recent Chem Circularity article, deconjugated monomer design and post-polymerization backbone editing enable Lin et al. to transform CO 2 and 1,3-butadiene into tough, high-performance cyclopolyester thermoplastics. The materials combine ultrahigh molecular weights, tunable properties, and closed-loop recyclability, illustrating how molecular-level backbone control can unlock the potential of CO 2 -derived polymers.
