• Temperature: The temperature at which polymerization is carried out has a direct impact on the reaction kinetics and the stability of the polymer. High temperatures can increase reaction rates but may also lead to catalyst degradation or undesirable side reactions. Conversely, lower temperatures may hinder the polymerization process, requiring longer reaction times. Optimizing the temperature for CO₂ polymerization is essential to achieve a balance between reaction efficiency and polymer properties, particularly for polymers requiring thermal stability .
