Programmed Photodegradation of Polymeric/Oligomeric Materials Derived from Renewable Bioresources

Renewable polymeric materials derived from biomass with built‐in phototriggers were synthesized and evaluated for degradation under irradiation of UV light. Complete decomposition of the polymeric materials was observed with recovery of the monomer that was used to resynthesize the polymers. Biodegr...

Description
Summary:Renewable polymeric materials derived from biomass with built‐in phototriggers were synthesized and evaluated for degradation under irradiation of UV light. Complete decomposition of the polymeric materials was observed with recovery of the monomer that was used to resynthesize the polymers. Biodegradable and recyclable: Renewable polymeric materials derived from biomass with built‐in phototriggers were synthesized and evaluated for degradation under irradiation by UV light (see picture). Complete decomposition of the polymeric materials was observed with recovery of the monomer that was used to resynthesize the polymers.
