- Title
Carbon Dioxide Switchable Polymers – Recent Developments and Emerging Applications.
- Authors
Cunningham, Michael F.; Jessop, Philip G.
- Abstract
Carbon dioxide has emerged as an alternative trigger for stimuli‐responsive or "switchable" materials that has unique advantages compared to conventional triggers. The principles of CO2 switching have been applied to a wide range of materials and processes, including polymeric materials and polymerization processes. This Perspective briefly reviews the types of polymer materials that have been made CO2‐switchable, and the types of processes where CO2 switching has been utilized to address process‐related challenges such as catalyst recovery. Recent research is then highlighted conducted in the groups on a range of new switchable polymers and processes, emphasizing emerging applications where CO2 switching may offer novel solutions and opportunities for commercial development.
