Green polycarbonates prepared by the copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides

ABSTRACT Polycarbonates can be prepared by the copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide as an inexpensive, abundant, nontoxic, and renewable feedstock. This review covers the synthesis, the physicochemical properties, and the growing applications of this class of green polymers. The review h...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Polycarbonates can be prepared by the copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide as an inexpensive, abundant, nontoxic, and renewable feedstock. This review covers the synthesis, the physicochemical properties, and the growing applications of this class of green polymers. The review has been conceived to provide a useful tool for the researchers who are new to this field, as well as to offer an updated overview for those who are already actively working on this topic. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
