POLY-SUS-006: Sustainable, Bio-Based, Recyclable and Degradable Polymers

PURPOSE: A standardized SoftwareTheses-ready prompt system for evidence-based renewable feedstocks, polymer synthesis and processing burdens, structure and performance, durability and service life, degradation and environmental behavior, recovery and recycling, residue safety, circularity, life cycle, economics, and scale-up.

Deliverables included

1.     One comprehensive master prompt

2.     Sixteen standardized manuscript section prompts

3.     Thirty-nine conditional sustainability modules

4.     Bio-based, waste-derived, degradable, recyclable, dynamic-network, controlled-lifetime, upcycling, safety, LCA, circularity, and scale-up branches

5.     Continuous placeholders for 6 figures, 16 tables, 11 equations, 10 charts, and 7 diagrams

6.     Anti-fabrication, claim-separation, mass-balance, functional-unit, degradation, recovery, toxicity, and system-boundary controls

Version 1.0 | August 2026

How to Use This Guide

1. Upload the literature matrix, selected papers, feedstock and formulation specifications, synthesis and processing logs, characterization and performance data, aging/degradation records, recycling mass balances, product analyses, toxicity data, LCA/TEA inventories, statistics, and journal instructions.
2. Paste the Master Prompt once at the beginning of the SoftwareTheses workflow.
3. Generate one manuscript section at a time using its corresponding Section Prompt.
4. Replace every [INFORMATION REQUIRED] with verified information and every [Ref] with a traceable source.
5. Activate only modules supported by the actual study; retain low yields, incomplete degradation, unidentified products, property loss, virgin reconstruction inputs, and unfavorable burdens when they define boundaries.
6. Complete the final audit across sample codes, origin and composition bases, functional unit, system boundary, test environments, mass balances, products, claims, and placeholder numbering.
