Performance-Guided Design of Chemically Recyclable Polymeric Materials: A Case Study on Thermoplastic Elastomers.

ABSTRACT: Thermoplastic polymer materials include both plastics and elastomers. Elastomers stand out as a crucial class of materials because of their wide-ranging applications. Polymers that can depolymerize back to their original monomers present a hopeful avenue to tackle the problems associated with polymer sustainability. In recent years, a great deal of research has been centered on the chemical recycling of monomers of polymers, and there are numerous reviews on this topic. Nevertheless, these reviews typically classify materials according to polymerization methods or polymer types, seldom taking into account the functional classification of the products. This method of categorization creates difficulties for those interested in material application scenarios, as they find it hard to obtain re
