Exploration of solvent, volume, and catalyst effects on fluoride-catalyzed end-of-life depolymerization of silicones to cyclic monomers
Recycling end-of-life silicones is of interest due to the high energy and environmental costs associated with producing new materials from virgin raw materials, with this method using fluoride-catalysed processes in green solvent systems.
