CO2-based polycarbonates from biobased cyclic terpenes with end-of-life usage potential

Biobased menthyl, thymyl, and carvacryl glycidyl ethers were copolymerized with CO 2 , leading to molar masses up to 60 kg mol −1 with T g values ranging from 0 to 58 °C. The polymers degrade under basic conditions, affording diols and CO 2 for recycling.
