Research Abstract |
Radical structural transformation of dynamic covalent polymers in various reaction fields was accomplished. Reversible cross-linking of alkoxyamine-containing dynamic covalent polymers in aqueous media was successfully carried out. Also, the present study demonstrated the synthesis of the first photo-responsive dynamic covalent polymer by incorporating disulfide functionality into the main chain. This novel class of dynamic covalent polymers activated by photoirradiation exhibit the potential to control molecular weight after polymerization and to reorganize in bulk film. Furthermore, radical structural transformation of dynamic covalent polymers immobilized onto silicon wafers was performed.
