High-Performance Chemically Recyclable Multifunctional Polyolefin-Like Biomass-Derived Polyester Materials

Polyolefins are the most widely used and produced petroleum-based plastics. Unfortunately, the enormous production and usage of traditional polyolefins, coupled with the lack of effective disposal or recycling options, have led to significant fossil fuel depletion and severe environmental pollution. To foster sustainable societal development, there is an urgent need to design high-performance and inherently recyclable polyolefin-like bio-derived materials by innovative structural and molecular designs. Here, inspired by a copolymerization molecular design approach that simultaneously confers recyclability and superior properties to materials, high-performance recyclable polyolefin-like bio-derived polyesters (PBC
