Fig. 1: Scalable, continuous, and rapid preparation of high-performance paper plastic based on a transformative microwave radiation-driven dynamic carbamate chemistry.

a Schematic demonstrating the preparation of the paper plastic. Firstly, the mixed solution of cyclic carbonate and PEI was compounded with cellulose paper, and then it was rapidly cured into paper plastic under microwave radiation. b Large-volume cyclic carbonates, PEI, and mixture solutions can be obtained. c A large-scale sheet of paper plastic. d Radar plots comparing the performance of paper plastic, cellulose paper, and polyethylene, in which the results are normalized by the maximum value of each characteristic. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
