Room‐Temperature Material Recycling/Upcycling of Polyamide Waste Enabled by Cosolvent‐Tunable Dissolution Kinetics

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Polyamides (PAs, nylons) are a ubiquitous class of high‐performance plastics used extensively in a wide range of applications. Their high resistance to many common solvents and tendency to hydrolyze in strong acids or bases creates a major hurdle to low‐emissions material recycling (i.e., resource separation and recovery).
