- Abstract
- Multi-functional molecules with spirocyclic acetal structures have recently emerged as attractive monomers to prepare high-performance polymers, which may subsequently be de-polymerized and recycled under specific physicochemical conditions. Spirocyclic acetal structures can be formed by condensation of a suitable aldehyde or ketone with a polyol so that the functionalities necessary for the polymerization are retained. In general, rigid spirocyclic acetal units efficiently enhance the polymer glass transition temperature (Tg). This typically increases, e.g., the stiffness and use temperature of the materials. Furthermore, the inherent sensitivity of spirocyclic acetal units to acidic conditions may be utilized to develop polymers that may... (More)

In general, rigid spirocyclic acetal units efficiently enhance the polymer glass transition temperature (Tg). This typically increases, e.g., the stiffness and use temperature of the materials. Furthermore, the inherent sensitivity of spirocyclic acetal units to acidic conditions may be utilized to develop polymers that may be conveniently and selectively cleaved into, e.g., monomers or oligomers under controlled acidic conditions. This opens up opportunities for making new chemically recyclable polymers and plastics. Herein, we highlight the recent progress in molecular design and synthesis of functional monomers with spirocyclic acetal structures and their use for the design and preparation of chemically recyclable high-Tg polymers. Monomers and polymers with the potential to be derived from sustainable biobased resources are given special attention. (Less)
