Monomer recycling of virgin polycarbonate (PC), end-of-life PC and PC-ABS blends by Ni-catalyzed reductive depolymerization
The reductive depolymerization of polycarbonate using affordable, heterogeneous and non-noble Ni catalysts was achieved, efficiently breaking down PC back to its monomer, bisphenol-A, in high yields.
