Solvent-free chemical upcycling of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) and poly(lactic acid) plastic waste using SBA-15-functionalized basic ionic liquids

Abstract

An efficient and solvent-free chemical upcycling of polycarbonate and polylactic acid plastic waste into valuable monomers to promote a circular and resource-efficient economy using SBA-15 functionalized basic ionic liquid catalysts is presented.
