Developing polymer chemistries capable of on-demand, controlled depolymerization is an important tool in a broad variety of applications in science, technology, and industry. We report functionalized poly(caprolactone)s (PCL)s designed to allow on-demand and complete depolymerization through incorporation of pendant protected amino groups that, on deprotection, trigger nucleophilic attack and yield a single cyclic product. Two cleavable protecting groups were used to cap PCL: light sensititve <i ...[more]
