Key Points

  • The aim is to develop effective tin oxide catalysts for the depolymerization of poly(ε-caprolactone) into ε-caprolactone.
  • Developed a tailored SnO heterogeneous catalyst.
  • Conducted depolymerization reactions under mild conditions.
  • Measured yield of ε-caprolactone produced.
  • Achieved yield of ε-caprolactone up to 94%.
  • Demonstrated effectiveness of tin oxide catalysts in mild environments.

Abstract

A heterogeneous catalyst for the depolymerization of poly(ε-caprolactone) into ε-caprolactone was demonstrated using a tailored SnO catalyst. The yield of ε-caprolactone reached up to 94% under mild conditions. The catalyst...
