• Tensile Strength: The tensile strength of CO₂-derived polymers is a critical measure of their ability to withstand mechanical stress before breaking. Research has shown that CO₂-based polymers, particularly polycarbonates, exhibit tensile strengths that are comparable to or even exceed those of conventional biodegradable plastics like polylactic acid (PLA) . However, optimization of the polymerization process and catalyst development is necessary to further enhance the tensile strength of these materials for specific applications in packaging, automotive, and consumer goods industries.
