Upcycling Waste Cyclic Poly(phenylene sulfide) as Valuable Movable Crosslinkers for Toughening and Ring-Size-Controlled Enzymatic Degradation of Polycaprolactone

Reconciling mechanical robustness with controlled end-of-life degradability represents a central challenge in the design of sustainable polymeric materials. Here, we develop a solvent-free in situ ring-opening polymerization strategy for incorporating size-specific cyclic poly(phenylene sulfide) macrocycles (c[n]PS,...
