Abstract

The environmental accumulation of oil-based plastics calls for the introduction of alternatives emerging from renewable resources that are chemically recycled back to monomer. In this issue of Chem, Miyake and coworkers describe camphor-derived monomers that give polymers of varying stereo-regularities and desired properties that may be depolymerized back to monomer.
