Abstract
Polyolefins are the most widely used plastics accounting for a large fraction of the polymer waste stream. Although reusing polyolefins seems to be a logical choice, their recycling level remains disappointingly low. This is mainly due to the lack of large-scale availability of efficient and inexpensive compatibilizers for mixed polyolefin waste, typically consisting of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP) that, despite their similar chemical hydrocarbon structure, are immiscible. Here, we describe an unconventional approach of using polypentadecalactone, a straightforward and simple-to-produce aliphatic polyester, as a compatibilizer for iPP/HDPE blends, especially the brittle iPP-rich ones. The unexpectedly effective compatibilizer transforms brittle iPP/HDPE blends into unexpectedly tough materials that even outperform the reference HDPE and iPP materials. This simple approach creates opportunities for upcycling polymer waste into valuable products.

Abstract
Imine- and phosphinimine-supported indium complexes were used as catalysts in the polymerization of racemic lactide and ε-caprolactone as well as their copolymerization by the sequential and simultaneous addition of monomers. Tuning the electronics and sterics of the indium centers by either (i) changing the nature of the nitrogen donors and (ii) coordinating a hemilabile side group had a significant effect on the reactivity of the complexes, their stability, and their control in the synthesis of block copolymers. Specifically, the imine-supported complex (5) showed the highest activity in the homo- and copolymerization of the cyclic esters, in contrast to the phosphinimine-supported complex (7), which was significantly slower and less stable. The presence of morpholine and thiomorpholine hemilabile side groups either reduced the activity or prevented the formation of alkoxide complexes.

Abstract
This study assesses the use of immobilized lipase catalyst N435 during reactive extrusion (REX) versus magnetically stirred bulk and solution reaction conditions for the copolymerization of ε-caprolactone with ω-pentadecalactone (CL/PDL 1:1 molar). N435-catalyzed REX for reaction times from 1 to 3 h results in total %-monomer conversion, Mn , and Đ values increase from 92.7% to 98.8%, 36.1 to 51.3 kDa, and 1.85 to 1.96, respectively. Diad fraction analysis by quantitative 13 C NMR reveals that, after just 1 h, rapid N435-catalyzed transesterification reactions occur that give random copolyesters. In contrast, for bulk polymerization with magnetic stirring in round bottom flasks, reaction times from 1 to 3 h result in the following: Mn increases from 12.4 to 25.6 kDa, Đ decreases from 2.98 to 1.87, and the randomness index increases from 0.74 and 0.86 as PDL*-PDL diads are dominant. These results highlight that REX avoids problems associated with internal batch mixing that are encountered in bulk polymerizations. In sharp contrast to a previous study of 1:1 molar PDL/δ-valerolactone (VL) copolymerizations by N435-catalyzed REX, VL %-conversion increases to just 40.1% in 1 h whereas CL reaches 94.7%.

Abstract
It remains a challenging task to synthesize well-defined multi-block copolymers through the controlled/living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones without transesterification, the most common side reaction occurring during copolymerization. A series of Al-based complexes with different sidearms were prepared for living ROP of lactones such as ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and δ-valerolactone (δ-VL) in the presence of BnOH at room temperature (RT), affording medium to high molecular weight (MW) linear polyesters with Mw up to 303 kg mol-1 and narrow molecular weight distributions (MWD, Đ as low as 1.12). The coordination-insertion polymerization mechanism was proposed based on the combination of the detailed experimental data and polymerization kinetics. It should be noted that the sidearm plays a significant important role in the reactivity of these Al-based catalyst systems. More specifically, the Al2 system with a butyl substituent on the sidearm exhibited the highest polymerization activity and the Al5 system with the bulkiest sidearm showed the lowest one among the investigated catalysts. Moreover, the Al4 system with a pyridine group on the sidearm could effectively inhibit transesterification and maintain a well-defined block copolymer structure even after heating at 50 °C for 10 h, which could also be confirmed by chain-end analyses of the produced polymers with the MALDI-TOF MS measurement.

Abstract
An effective route for ring-opening copolymerization of β-butyrolactone (BBL) with ε-decalactone (ε-DL) is reported. Microstructures of the block copolymers characterized by 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed syndiotactic-enriched poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) blocks. Several di- and triblock copolymers (PDL-b-PHB and PDL-b-PHB-b-PDL, respectively) were successfully synthesized by sequential addition of the monomers using (salan)Y(III) complexes as catalysts. The results from MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of the copolymers. Moreover, thermal properties of the block copolymers were also investigated and showed that the microphase separation of PDL-b-PHB copolymers into PHB- and PDL-rich domains has an impact on the glass transition temperatures of both blocks.

Abstract
The development of new or more sustainable, active, efficient, controlled, and selective polymerization reactions or processes continues to be crucial for the synthesis of important polymers or materials with specific structures or functions. In this context, the newly emerged polymerization technique enabled by main-group Lewis pairs (LPs), termed as Lewis pair polymerization (LPP), exploits the synergy and cooperativity between the Lewis acid (LA) and Lewis base (LB) sites of LPs, which can be employed as frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), interacting LPs (ILPs), or classical Lewis adducts (CLAs), to effect cooperative monomer activation as well as chain initiation, propagation, termination, and transfer events. Through balancing the Lewis acidity, Lewis basicity, and steric effects of LPs, LPP has shown several unique advantages or intriguing opportunities compared to other polymerization techniques and demonstrated its broad polar monomer scope, high activity, control or livingness, and complete chemo- or regioselectivity, as well as its unique application in materials chemistry. These advances made in LPP are comprehensively reviewed, with the scope of monomers focusing on heteroatom-containing polar monomers, while the polymerizations mediated by main-group LAs and LBs separately that are most relevant to the LPP are also highlighted or updated. Examples of applying the principles of the LPP and LP chemistry as a new platform for advancing materials chemistry are highlighted, and currently unmet challenges in the field of the LPP, and thus the suggested corresponding future research directions, are also presented.

Abstract
The copolymerization of an ε-substituted ε-lactone, menthide (MI), and a range of nonsubstituted lactones (6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-membered rings) was investigated in order to determine the factors that affect the sequencing of the MI copolymers. Analysis by quantitative 13C NMR spectroscopy showed the copolymerization of MI with a nonsubstituted lactone of ring size 7 or less produced a randomly sequenced copolymer, as a consequence of the smaller lactone polymerizing first and undergoing rapid transesterification as MI was incorporated. Conversely, copolymerization with larger ring lactones (ring size 8 and above) produced block-like copolymers as a consequence of MI polymerizing initially, which does not undergo rapid transesterification side reactions during the incorporation of the second monomer. Terpolymerizations of a small ring lactone, macrolactone, and menthide demonstrated methods of producing lactone terpolymers with different final sequences, depending on when the small ring lactone was injected into the reaction mixture.

Abstract
Selective catalysis is used to prepare block copolyesters by combining ring-opening polymerization of lactones and ring-opening copolymerization of epoxides/anhydrides. By using a dizinc complex with mixtures of up to three different monomers and controlling the chemistry of the Zn-O(polymer chain) it is possible to select for a particular polymerization route and thereby control the composition of block copolyesters.
