• Thermal Stability: CO₂-derived polymers generally exhibit lower thermal stability compared to petroleum-based plastics. This is particularly true for polycarbonates and polyurethanes derived from CO₂, which tend to degrade at lower temperatures than their petroleum counterparts However, recent advances in catalyst development and polymerization techniques have led to improvements in the thermal stability of CO₂-based polymers. For instance, by modifying the polymer chain structure or introducing crosslinking agents, the thermal resistance of CO₂-derived polymers can be enhanced, making them more suitable for a broader range of applications, including in automotive and electronics.
