Chemically Recyclable Plastics
In article number 2210154, Ting‐Han Lee, George Kraus, Eric Cochran, and co‐workers report dihydroxyterephthalate (DHTE) as a “Trojan horse” co‐unit in poly(ethylene terephthalate) to produce highly recyclable plastics. The DHTE enables chemical recycling via hydrolysis to monomers in pure water by acting as an internal catalyst through neighboring group participation...
Here, low‐energy poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) chemical recycling in water: PET copolymers with diethyl 2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalate (DHTE) undergo selective hydrolysis at DHTE sites, autocatalyzed by neighboring group participation, is demonstrated. Liberated oligomeric subchains further hydrolyze until only small molecules remain. Poly(ethylene terephthalate‐stat‐2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalate) copolymers...
