Abstract: Here, low‐energy poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) chemical recycling in water: PET copolymers with diethyl 2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalate (DHTE) undergo selective hydrolysis at DHTE sites, autocatalyzed by neighboring group participation, is demonstrated. Liberated oligomeric subchains further hydrolyze until only… read more here.
