Mechanochemical generation of acid-degradable poly(enol ether)s
Jinghui Yang, Yan Xia
Abstract
grinding the solid polymer. Force-induced hydrolytic polymer degradability can enable materials that are stable under force-free conditions but readily degrade under stress. Facile degradation of mechanically activated polymechanophores also facilitates the analysis of mechanochemical products.
