Designing catechol-poly(ethylene terephthalate) as a depolymerizable adhesive for PET packaging
2,3-Dihydroxyterephthalate, a catechol-functionalized derivative of the conventional poly(ethylene terephthalate) monomer, was converted into a reactive monomer that polymerized into polyesters that exhibit adhesive properties.
