摘要
The field of sustainable polymers is growing and evolving at unprecedented rates. Researchers are increasingly concerned with the feedstock origins and the degradation behavior of, especially, large-scale commodity packaging plastics. A perspective is offered here for the design of sustainable polymers, specifically addressing opportunities for monomer development and polymer degradation. Key concepts include: water degradability instead of biodegradability; incorporation of novel main-chain functionality, such as acetals; utilization of lignin-based aromatics; and direct polymerization of biogenic C1 feedstocks.
