Technologies for the production of polymer materials by the method of catalytic conversion of CO2 and epoxides

A comparative analysis of studies devoted to the development of technologies for the catalytic copolymerization of CO₂ and epoxides to obtain popular polymer products, including polycarbonates and polyurethanes, has been carried out. The use of CO₂ as a carbon-containing raw material using these technologies provides the opportunity to obtain market products with high added value. The known catalytic copolymerization systems of CO₂ and epoxides, the principles of their functioning, industrial applications and prospects for further commercialization are considered. Information is provided about well-known global companies and their capacities for the production of the polymers in question.
