Recyclable fluorine improves properties of degradable polyester plastics

Incorporating fluorine into certain polyesters accelerates polymer chain formation, makes longer chains accessible, and enables targeted modification of the material's properties. As a result, fluorinated polyesters become more competitive with other types of plastics, while the fluorine can be recovered during degradation.
