Summary
Researchers synthesized novel elastic rubbers from CO2-based polycarbonates through terpolymerization of CO2 with long-alkyl-chain and unsaturated epoxides, demonstrating a route to sustainable elastomers from captured carbon. The resulting materials showed rubber-like mechanical behavior with potential for replacing petroleum-derived elastomers.
We report the synthesis of novel elastic rubbers based on polycarbonates prepared by the terpolymerisation of CO 2 with a long-alkyl-chain epoxide and an unsaturated epoxide.
