Abstract Development of closed‐loop chemically recyclable plastics (CCRPs) that can be
widely used in daily life can be a fundamental solution to the global plastic waste crisis …

The accumulation of plastic waste, due to lack of recycling, has led to serious environmental
pollution. Although mechanical recycling can alleviate this issue, it inevitably reduces the …

Geminal disubstitution of cyclic monomers is an effective strategy to enhance the chemical
recyclability of their polymers, but it is utilized for that purpose alone and often at the …

Polyolefins are the most important and largest volume plastics produced. Unfortunately, the
enormous use of plastics and lack of effective disposal or recycling options have created a …
