Isotacticity of poly(cyclohexene carbonate) (PCHC) has the critical influence on the crystallinity, and only copolymers with a isotacticity of more than 90% are crystallizable. The stereoregular PCHC is a typical semi-crystalline thermoplastic, and possesses a high melting point (Tin) of 215-230℃ and a decomposition temperature of ca. 310℃. The spherulitic morphology of (R)-PCHC grows in a clockwise spiral from a center, and that of (S)-PCHC is a counterclockwise spiral, while the stereocomplex of (S)-PCHC/(R)-PCHC (1/1 mass ratio) presents lath-like dendritic crystal. The novel crystalline CO2-based polycarbonate represents a rare example of optically active polymers with unique crystallization behavior. Our findings reflect the critical influence of stereoregularity on the crystallization for this kind of polymeric materials, and may lead to developments of thermal-resistance CO2 copolymers for application in engineering thermoplastics.展开更多
