Abstract
Chemically cross-linked polymers offer excellent temperature and solvent resistance, but their high dimensional stability precludes reprocessing. The renewed demand for sustainable and circular polymers from public, industry, and government stakeholders has increased research into recycling thermoplastics, but thermosets have often been overlooked. To address this need for more sustainable thermosets, we have developed a novel bis(1,3-dioxolan-4-one) monomer, derived from the naturally occurring l-(+)-tartaric acid. This compound can be used as a cross-linker and copolymerized in situ with common cyclic esters such as l-lactide, ε-caprolactone, and δ-valerolactone to produce cross-linked, degradable polymers. The structure-property relationships and the final network properties were tuned by both co-monomer choice and composition, with properties ranging from resilient solids with tensile strengths of 46.7 MPa to elastomers with elongations up to 147%. In addition to exhibiting properties rivalling those of commercial thermosets, the synthesized resins could be recovered at end-of-life through triggered degradation or reprocessing. Accelerated hydrolysis experiments showed the materials fully degraded to tartaric acid and the corresponding oligomers from 1 to 14 days under mild basic conditions and in a matter of minutes in the presence of a transesterification catalyst. The vitrimeric reprocessing of networks was demonstrated at elevated temperatures, and rates could be tuned by modifying the concentration of the residual catalyst. This work develops new thermosets, and indeed their glass fiber composites, with an unprecedented ability to tune degradability and high performance by creating resins from sustainable monomers and a bio-derived cross-linker.

Abstract
![]()
Poor waste management and unchecked consumption underpin our current
paradigm of plastics use, which is demonstrably unsustainable in the
long term. Nonetheless, the utility and versatility of plastics suggest
that the notion of a plastic-free society is also unsustainable. Responses
to this conundrum are increasing, and among these are research efforts
focused on the development of more sustainable plastics. This Account,
written by trained chemists, reflects an academic research journey
culminating in an appreciation of the importance of improving and
enabling the overarching systems that plastics exist within. Our primary
initial focus was on catalyst development because catalysts are key
drivers of sustainability by improving the efficiency and ease of
polymerization. Metal catalysts ranging in ligand structure and the
incorporated metal(s) were developed for the preparation of traditional
polyesters such as poly(lactic acid) and polycaprolactone. The central
themes in these works were stereocontrol (tacticity), efficiency (polymerization
rate), and versatility (monomer scope). Alongside insights gained
by systematically varying catalyst structure came impressive results
gained through collaboration, including the remarkably high activity
of novel heterometallic zinc catalysts toward various cyclic esters. This catalysis work was complemented by and slowly transitioned
to a focus on polymer functionality and monomer design. Several fundamental
studies focus on polymer topology, specifically star-shaped polyesters,
tuned arm number, length, and tacticity. These reports feature emphases
on the end of life (solvolysis) and physical properties of polymers,
which were increasingly important themes as work shifted toward new
methods of incorporating functionality in polymers produced by ring-opening
polymerization. Three key highlights demonstrate this shift: the first
two rely upon the exploitation of olefin metathesis (cross- and ring-closing)
to functionalize polyesters or polyethers, and the third involves
the manipulation of ring-opening polymerization equilibrium to enable
selective monomer recovery from a polyester. Our foundational work
on 1,3-dioxolan-4-one (DOX) monomers is then discussed because this
emerging class of molecules offers a distinct synthetic pathway toward
functional polyesters, both conventional and novel. With this DOX
framework, polyesters that are usually challenging to synthesize (e.g.,
poly(mandelic acid)) are accessible because polymerization is driven
by the concomitant, controlled extrusion of small molecules (acetone
or formaldehyde). After these polyester-focused highlights,
the foundation of our
ongoing work is presented, namely, that polymer sustainability must
be viewed from a systems-level perspective, including economic and
social components alongside the environmental considerations. Material
design must be driven by practice, and we have to involve key players
in academia, industry, and government in a concerted effort to enable
positive and robust change. The key goal is to develop sustainable
systems that retain plastics in their highest value state for as long
as possible by designing materials and products for a particular (and
assured) end-of-life fate, whether that be reuse, recycling, (bio)degradation,
or energy recovery.

Abstract
Three different organocatalysts, namely, 1-tert-butyl-4,4,4-tris(dimethylamino)-2,2-bis[tris (dimethylamino) phosphoranylidenamino]-2Λ5,4Λ5-catenadi(phosphazene) (t-BuP4), 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), have been used as 1,5-dioxepan-2-one (DXO) ring-opening polymerization (ROP) catalysts at varied reaction conditions. 1H NMR spectra, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) characterizations, and kinetic studies prove that the (co)polymerizations are proceeded in a controlled manner with the three organocatalysts. It is deduced that t-BuP4 and DBU catalysts are in an initiator/chain end activated ROP mechanism and TBD is in a nucleophilic ROP mechanism.

Abstract
Aluminum complexes containing [RP(O)(2-O-3,5-tBu2C6H2)2]2− [R = tBu (3a), Ph (3b)] have been synthesized, structurally characterized, and their reactivity studied in comparison with those of their [RP(2-O-3,5-tBu2C6H2)2]2− [R = tBu (2a), Ph (2b)] analogs. Treating AlMe3 with one equiv of H2[3a-b] in THF at 0°C affords quantitatively [3a-b]AlMe, subsequent reactions of which with benzyl alcohol in THF at 25°C generate {[3a-b]Al(μ2-OCH2Ph)}2. The methyl [3a-b]AlMe and the benzyloxide {[3a-b]Al(μ2-OCH2Ph)}2 are all active for catalytic ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone and rac-lactide (rac-LA). Controlled experiments reveal that {[3a]Al(μ2-OCH2Ph)}2 is competent in living polymerization. Kinetic studies indicate that [3a]AlMe, in the presence of benzyl alcohol, catalyzes ROP of rac-LA at a rate faster than [3b]AlMe and [2a]AlMe(THF) by a factor of 1.8 and 23.6, respectively, highlighting the profound reactivity enhancement in ROP catalysis by varying the P-substituents of these biphenolate complexes of aluminum.
