The recent emergence of nanomedicine has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape and
necessitated the creation of more sophisticated drug delivery systems. Polymeric …

Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

Many common polymers, especially vinyl polymers, are inherently difficult to chemically
recycle and are environmentally persistent. The introduction of low levels of cleavable …

Here, we present the synthesis and characterization of statistical and block copolymers
containing α-lipoic acid (LA) using reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) …

Visible light‐mediated direct decarboxylation of carboxylic acids with an acridine
photocatalyst is a convenient and powerful method to generate carbon‐centered radicals in …

We establish a synthetically convenient method to degrade polyacrylate homopolymers.
Carboxylic acids are installed along the polymer backbone by partial hydrolysis of the ester …

Radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) allows facile incorporation of labile groups (eg,
ester) into the main chain of vinyl polymers to obtain (bio) degradable materials. rROP has …

In the two decades since the introduction of the “click chemistry” concept, the toolbox of “click
reactions” has continually expanded, enabling chemists, materials scientists, and biologists …

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on poly (acrylate) chemistry are common in a
wide variety of applications, but the absence of backbone degradability causes issues with …

The development of degradable polymers has commanded significant attention over the
past half century. Approaches have predominantly relied on ring-opening polymerization of …
