Abstract:
Creating innovative poly(ether-alt-ester)s (PEAEs) with alternating ether and ester groups to address the trade-offs between the polymer's depolymerizability and thermostability is essentially important for advanced material applications and sustainable development. Current research efforts focus on modulating the ceiling temperature (Tc) of monomers with small-sized rings, to increase the thermostability of PEAEs at high temperature. Notably, floor temperature (Tf)-regulated PEAEs, obtained from entropy-driven ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of macrocyclic ether-ester monomers, inherently exhibit enhanced thermodynamic stability as the temperature increases. However, high-performance PEAEs regulated by Tf remains long-term underdeveloped owing to extremely low efficiency and selectivity in macrocyclic monomer synthesis. Herein, we developed a "polycondensation-depolymerization" strategy for macrocyclic ether-ester monomer and presented the first example of Tf-regulated PEAE with thermostability, melt processibility as well as chemical recyclability. The resulting PEAE is semi-crystalline and ductile, and exhibits remarkable high decomposition temperature (with a Td,5% up to 378.3 °C) compared to the Tc-regulated poly(1,4-dioxan-2-one) (PPDO, Td,5% = 238.4 °C). This work corroborated the effectiveness of the Tf-regulated PEAE in resolving the challenges associated with the Tc-regulated analogs and provided a molecular-level design principle for poly(ether-alt-ester) with high-performance.

02:29Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
02:28Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.
