Homolytic fracture of inorganic crystalline materials enhances the mechano-chemical degradation of polypropylene

Mechano-chemistry can depolymerize plastics to their monomers. The conversion of polyolefins, however, suffers from low chain cleavage rates and the low stability of radical intermediates. Therefore, insights into the degradation mechanism are crucial to obtain higher yields. Herein, we promote the...
