Oh, Xin Yi published the artcileSynthesis of degradable and chemically recyclable polymers using 4,4-disubstituted five-membered cyclic ketene hemiacetal ester (CKHE) monomers, HPLC of Formula: 142-90-5, the main research area is cyclic ketene hemiacetal ester monomer degradable polymer synthesis.
Novel degradable and chem. recyclable polymers were synthesized using five-membered cyclic ketene hemiacetal ester (CKHE) monomers. The studied monomers were 4,4-dimethyl-2-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-5-one (DMDL) and 5-methyl-2-methylene-5-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one (PhDL). The two monomers were synthesized in high yields (80-90%), which is an attractive feature. DMDL afforded its homopolymer with a relatively high mol. weight (Mn >100 000, where Mn is the number-average mol. weight). DMDL and PhDL were copolymerized with various families of vinyl monomers, i.e., methacrylates, acrylates, styrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl pyrrolidinone, and acrylamide, and various functional methacrylates and acrylate. Such a wide scope of the accessible polymers is highly useful for material design. The obtained homopolymers and random copolymers of DMDL degraded in basic conditions (in the presence of a hydroxide or an amine) at relatively mild temperatures (room temperature to 65°C). The degradation of the DMDL homopolymer generated 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBA). The generated HIBA was recovered and used as an ingredient to re-synthesize DMDL monomer, and this monomer was further used to re-synthesize the DMDL polymer, demonstrating the chem. recycling of the DMDL polymer. Such degradability and chem. recyclability of the DMDL polymer may contribute to the circular materials economy.
