Congrats to Ryan and Takuya on publishing their work on the synthesis & ROP of lactones made from cotelomerization isoprene/butadiene w/CO2! This is part of an upcoming Faraday Discussion on polymerisation and depolymerisation in Fall, so here's the chemrxiv in the meantime! doi.org/10.26434/che...

The thermodynamics and kinetics of depolymerization: what makes vinyl monomer regeneration feasible?
Depolymerization is potentially a highly advantageous method of recycling plastic waste which could move the world closer towards a truly circular polymer economy. However, depolymerization remains ch...

Biomimetic strain-stiffening in fully synthetic dynamic-covalent hydrogel networks
Mechanoresponsiveness is a ubiquitous feature of soft materials in nature; biological tissues exhibit both strain-stiffening and self-healing in order to prevent and repair deformation-induced damage. These features remain challenging to replicate in synthetic and flexible polymeric materials. In recreating
