DEGRADABLE POLYMER RESINS AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

Disclosed are polymers having one or more two-photon absorbing chromophores in a backbone of the polymers. The polymers degrade upon two-photon excitation, which allows for easy decomposition of polymeric products made therefrom. The decomposition can occur when the polymer is exposed to light of intensities sufficient to induce the two-photon excitation, which in turn cleaves the polymer at one or more sites where the chromophores are attached.
