In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

The copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides presents a transformative approach to
converting greenhouse gases into aliphatic polycarbonates (CO2-PCs), thereby reducing …

The development of high-performance recyclable polymers represents a circular plastics
economy to address the urgent issues of plastic sustainability. Herein, we design a series of …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered a renewable one-carbon building block for chemical
synthesis owing to its abundance, low toxicity, nonflammability, and availability. The …

In the past two decades, synthetic biodegradable and biobased polyesters have emerged as
a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-derived polymers for diverse range of …

Proof of principles studies by Inoue and coworkers in the late 1960s clearly illustrated the
poorly controlled coupling of CO 2 and epoxides to provide polycarbonates. These early …

Crystal Engineering has traditionally dealt with molecular crystals. It is the understanding of
intermolecular interactions in the context of crystal packing and in the utilization of such …

Precisely controlling macromolecular stereochemistry and sequences is a powerful strategy
for manipulating polymer properties. Controlled synthetic routes to prepare degradable …

Production of biodegradable plastics from carbon dioxide, particularly as a means of
recycling industrial waste gas, is a promising advancement in environmental and energy …

Living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) has emerged as a technique that is able
to perform solution phase self-assembly of semi-crystalline block copolymers in a controlled …
