Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows five‐membered cyclic organic carbonate monomers strategically placed at the heart of a process that combines renewable, naturally available building blocks with abundantly available waste CO2 for the synthesis of polymers. In this way, cyclic carbonates play a pivotal role in connecting sustainable chemistry with the synthesis of everyday‐life materials represented by foams, adhesives and components of lithium batteries".
