Chinese Academy of Sciences Guangzhou Chemical Co., Ltd. "Carriers for immobilizing carbon dioxide into aliphatic polycarbonates" was recently authorized by the US Patent Office.
It is reported that this catalyst is used to catalyze the synthesis of polyalkylene carbonates by the copolymerization of epoxides and carbon dioxide, and can be widely used in the fields of cryogenic oxygen barrier films, biodegradable plastics, elastomers, adhesives, and coatings. The synthesis of this kind of polymer can not only effectively use carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, which has been largely abandoned in the industry and causes great harm to the environment, but also has biodegradability and does not bring about white pollution caused by plastics. Therefore, it has Broad market prospects.
