CO2 is an ideal trigger for switchable or stimuli-responsive materials because it is benign, inexpensive, green, abundant, and does not accumulate in the system. Many different CO2-responsive materials including polymers, latexes, solvents, solutes, gels, surfactants, and catalysts have been prepared. This review focuses on the preparation, self-assembly, and functional applications of CO2-responsive polymers. Detailed discussion is provided on the synthesis of CO2-responsive polymers, in particular using reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP), formerly known as controlled/living radical polymerization (CLRP), a powerful technique for the preparation of well-defined (co)polymers with precise control over molecular weight distribution, chain-end functional groups, and polymer architectural design. Self-assembly in aqueous dispersed media is highlighted as well as emerging potential applications.
二氧化碳是一种理想的可切换或刺激响应材料的触发剂，因为它是良性的、廉价的、绿色的、丰富的，并且不会在系统中积累。已经制备了许多不同的二氧化碳响应材料，包括聚合物、乳胶、溶剂、溶质、凝胶、表面活性剂和催化剂。本综述重点介绍了二氧化碳响应聚合物的制备、自组装和功能应用。详细讨论了二氧化碳响应聚合物的合成，特别是使用可逆失活自由基聚合（RDRP），以前称为控制/活性自由基聚合（CLRP），这是一种用于制备具有分子量分布、链端官能团和聚合物结构设计精确控制的高分子量（共）聚合物的强大技术。还强调了在水分散介质中的自组装以及新兴的潜在应用。
