Polycarbonate (PC) oligomer (IV: 0. 15 dL/g) was synthesized by standard melt polymerization procedure using bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate in the presence of a basic catalyst. Blends of varying compositions were prepared by melt blending the chemically distinct PET and PC oligomers. The copolymer, poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-bisphenol A carbonate) was synthesized by simultaneous solid state polymerization and ester-carbonate interchange reaction between the oligomers of PET and PC. The reaction was carried out under reduced pressure at temperatures below the melting temperature of the blend samples. DSC and WAXS techniques characterized the structure and morphology of the blends, while (NMR)-N-1 spectroscopy was used to monitor the progress of interchange reactions between the oligomers. The studies have indicated the amorphisation of the PET and PC crystalline phases in solid state with the progress of solid-state polymerization and interchange reaction. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

The reaction occurs with high yields of the desired products at mild conditions and without using any solvent or cocatalyst. Cyclic carbonates are synthesized by cycloaddition reaction Of CO2 with oxiranes (epichlorohydrin, propene oxide, styrene oxide and n-butene oxide) at 393 K and 6.9 bar. Alkyl and aryl carbarnates are synthesized by the reaction of the corresponding amines, CO2 and n-butyl bromide at 353 K and 3.4 bar. The as-synthesized zeolite-beta containing the encapsulated quaternary ammonium ions is not only reusable in several recycling experiments, but also shows superior activity to that of the corresponding homogeneous, quaternary ammonium halide salt generally used in the commercial synthetic practice. The microporous silica (inorganic) acting in concert with the encapsulated organic component constitutes an efficient, recyclable catalyst for this reaction. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Calculated absolute value of the conformationally averaged optical anisotropy (&lt;gamma(2)&gt;) of diphenyl propane, a model analog of bisphenol A polycarbonate, is higher than the corresponding experimental value in the dilute solution phase. The calculations have reproduced the relative trend in the optical anisotropy for the different bisphenyl model compounds in a manner similar to those using semiclassical approach, by incorporation of the condensed phase polarizabilities and quantum chemically calculated geometry structure into the valence optical scheme. Individual contributions to the gas phase polarizability and optical anisotropy of the model compounds for various dihedral conformers, because of the presence of different aliphatic chemical groups, are correctly predicted by the calculations here.

This work provides an insight on structure-activity relationship of DMC for poly(cyclohexene carbonate) synthesis. Seven samples of DMC were prepared by different methods and mode of reagent addition. Highly active catalyst could be synthesized even without using a co-complexing agent. CO2 adsorption studies revealed that higher the guest-host interaction higher would be the catalytic activity. High density and strength of Lewis acid sites, moderate crystallinity, low crystal symmetry (rhombohedral/monoclinic), Cl- ions and coordinated tert.-butanol (complexing agent) control the catalytic activity for polycarbonates. Chloride in the structure avoided induction period by increasing acidity of the catalyst and thereby, improving the guest-host interactions. Polycarbonates with CO2 incorporation as high as 86 mol%, average molecular weight of 20900 and polydispersity index of 1.8 were prepared at complete conversion of cyclohexene oxide.

A deep insight into the structural aspects of the catalysts that control their catalytic performance is addressed in this work. Method of preparation of DMC catalysts was found to have influence on their structure, which in turn dictated their catalytic activity. Complexing agent (t-BuOH) and density of strong acid sites of DMC catalysts were found critical factors responsible for their activity. Selectivity of DMC towards polycarbonates depends on the amount of alkali ion content in their composition. Induction period of the catalysts was governed by the strength of acid sites and by the presence of dispersed ZnCl2 in the composition. This study provides an understanding of the prime features of DMC catalysts that can be tuned for high productivity of polycarbonates. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

	Additive free aminolysis method developed for the depolymerization/upcycling of polycarbonates. We report here chemical recycling of polycarbonate under ambient conditions to get its monomer bisphenol A, monoaminocarbamate and biscarbamates in 1 : 2 : 1 ratio respectively. By employing the secondary amine as the aminating reagent, facilitates the depolymerization to work under additive/catalyst free conditions. The developed method deals with depolymerization of waste polycarbonates and works even with late-stage amine derivatives such as amoxapine and desloratadine which are drugs molecules known to treat neurotic disorders and allergies respectively. The reaction can be scaled up and works with similar efficacy which depicts the efficiency of the depolymerization of wasteend-of-life polycarbonate plastic waste. The biscarbamate and bisphenol-A was further subjected for the post functionalization to obtain amides and phenol in good yields. Developed additive/catalyst free aminolysis of waste polycarbonates to carbamates and monomer BPA at ambient conditions. Variety of secondary amines were screened including the late stage amine derivatives like amoxapine and desloratadine which delivered the expected products successfully. Later the developed methodology was even applied for the different end-of-life polycarbonates with the secondary amine and achieved the depolymerization without any obstacle. Further carried out the scale up reaction and derivatization of carbamates and BPA to amide and phenol synthesis. image&lt;/p&gt;

	The rapid accumulation of polycarbonate (PC) waste has driven the development of efficient recycling methods. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of solvent-assisted chemical recycling of PC using glycerol, a renewable chemical derived from industrial waste streams. Solvent screening highlighted the critical influence of solvent properties such as dielectric constant, dipole moment and hydrogen-bond accepting ability on depolymerization efficiency. A systematic approach combining Design of Experiments (DoE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the depolymerization process. Using a Box-Behnken design (BBD), the effects of key process parameters, including temperature, reaction time and the glycerol (GLY:PC) and dimethylformamide (DMF:PC) weight ratios, were evaluated in terms of PC conversion and bisphenol A (BPA) yield. The optimization model predicted that a reaction temperature of 171 degrees C, a reaction time of 1 h and a PC: GLY:DMF ratio of 1:5.05:7.22 would yield 100 % PC conversion and 85 % BPA yield. Experimental validation under these conditions achieved 100 % PC conversion and 83 % BPA yield, confirming the reliability of the model. Product characterization using NMR, LC-HRMS and FTIR confirmed the purity of BPA and provided insights into the reaction mechanism. The solvent recyclability across successive reaction cycles demonstrated the environmental and economic viability of the process. Overall, the energy demand calculation based on the environmental energy impact factor (xi) highlights the industrial relevance of this work and demonstrate an efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst-free route for depolymerization of polycarbonate with strong potential for industrial implementation.&lt;/p&gt;
