Provides an up-to-date overview of organocatalysis in polymer chemistry, covers recent innovations and specific methodologies

Organocatalysis is revolutionizing polymer chemistry, offering a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional metal-based catalysts. Organocatalysts in Polymer Chemistry: Synthesis and Applications presents a detailed summary of the development of organocatalysts and their transformative impact on polymer synthesis. Contributions by an international team of specialists present cutting-edge methodologies for creating precise macromolecular structures, covering a wide range of polymerization methods and practical applications.

Edited by Professor Zhibo Li, an acknowledged expert in polymer chemistry, the book covers the use of organocatalysts in processes such as ring-opening polymerization, controlled radical polymerization, and polymer depolymerization. It offers vital insights into the synthesis of advanced, biodegradable, and metal-free materials, making it a valuable resource of both foundational knowledge and the latest research breakthroughs in polymer chemistry.

Exploring the development, advantages, and applications of organocatalysts in polymer synthesis, this book:

Presents advanced techniques for creating precise polymer architectures, including molecular weight, stereochemistry, and topology control Discusses applications of organocatalysts in ring-opening polymerization (ROP), controlled radical polymerization, and copolymerization techniques Highlights organocatalysis as a metal-free, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative for polymer synthesis Examines the role of organocatalysts in recycling and depolymerizing commodity polymers such as PET and polycarbonate Addresses the synthesis of degradable polymers for biomedical, electronic, and environmental uses Summarizes advancements over the past two decades and explores emerging trends in polymer chemistry

Organocatalysts in Polymer Chemistry is essential reading for postgraduate students, researchers, and industrial professionals in polymer chemistry, materials science, and sustainable catalysis. It is also an essential reference for catalytic chemists, organic chemists, and chemical engineers engaged in the synthesis and application of polymers.
