Dihydroxyterephthalate—A Trojan Horse PET Counit for Facile Chemical Recycling (Adv. Mater. 21/2023)
Source abstract
Abstract
Chemically Recyclable Plastics In article number 2210154, Ting-Han Lee, George Kraus, Eric Cochran, and co-workers report dihydroxyterephthalate (DHTE) as a “Trojan horse” co-unit in poly(ethylene terephthalate) to produce highly recyclable plastics. The DHTE enables chemical recycling via hydrolysis to monomers in pure water by acting as an internal catalyst through neighboring group participation.
