Abstract
Nowadays, sustainable chemistry has becoming more and more important in polymer research and presents an area of high interest. Alternative reaction media have been investigated in order to avoid using harmful solvents to achieve more environmentally friendly processes. The ongoing search for careful solvent selection and consideration of the role of the solvent in the entire chemical process has led to the development of technologies based on so-called green solvents. The most commonly used green solvents in polymer chemistry are ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, liquid polymers, supercritical carbon dioxide, and switchable solvents. Based on the results mainly published during the last decade, this literature review focuses on the recent developments and achievements in applying ionic liquids, supercritical carbon dioxide, and water as green solvents for different polymerization processes.
