Copolymerization of 1,2-Epoxycyclohexane and Carbon Dioxide Using Carbon Dioxide as Both Reactant and Solvent
Abstract
The copolymerization of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane (cyclohexene oxide, CHO) and carbon dioxide was performed using no other solvent than carbon dioxide itself. A CO 2 -soluble, ZnO-based catalyst was synthesized and used to catalyze the polymerization. Polymerizations were conducted at different temperatures, pressures, and mole fractions of CHO giving rise to polymer yields as high as 69% with catalyst activities as high as 400 g of polymer/g of Zn. The best results were obtained at temperatures of 100−110 °C and at mole fractions of CHO above X CHO = 0.15. This polymer was >90% polycarbonate with weight average molecular weights ( M w ) ranging from 50 000 to 180 000.

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.
