Green polycarbonates prepared by the copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides
Abstract
Polycarbonates can be prepared by the copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide as an inexpensive, abundant, nontoxic, and renewable feedstock. This review covers the synthesis, the physicochemical properties, and the growing applications of this class of green polymers. The review has been conceived to provide a useful tool for the researchers who are new to this field, as well as to offer an updated overview for those who are already actively working on this topic. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
