Abstract:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) plays a vital role in organic and polymer chemistry as a source of cheap and available raw material for the synthesis of many valuable products, including polymer materials with a specified set of properties, and as a solvent for chemical reactions. This review is devoted to the synthesis, properties and applications of polycarbonates obtained by copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides, a hot topic that has aroused great interest among the scientific community and industry representatives. The existing data on the catalytic systems used for the synthesis of polycarbonates are analyzed and summarized, depolymerization of polycarbonates, which is a key aspect in the polymer recycling, is discussed, information on the properties and applications of polycarbonates is systematized, and prospects for the development of this area of chemistry are considered.
