Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A cradle‐to‐cradle approach for the synthesis of biomass‐derived polymers and their degradation back to the monomeric units is presented. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 1159 ff., </ext-link> M. P. Sibi, D. C. Webster, J. Sivaguru, et al. that the recovered monomers can be reused to synthesize the polymers and oligomers. The polymers and oligomers synthesized from biomass‐derived monomers which also incorporate a phototrigger can be degraded back to the monomers under irradiation of UV light.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh39c3v5zr" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
