Recycling polymers to their monomers would enable a circular polymer economy, but this can be challenging, especially for materials with all-carbon backbones. Now, by lowering the strain of cyclooctene through ring fusion, recyclable polymers with useful physical properties can be made by an olefin-metathesis-based route.

低应变，更多增益

将聚合物回收为其单体将实现循环聚合物经济，但这可能具有挑战性，尤其是对于具有全碳主链的材料。现在，通过环融合降低环辛烯的应变，可以通过基于烯烃复分解的路线制造具有有用物理特性的可回收聚合物。
