ELECTROCHEMICALLY DEGRADABLE POLYMERS

摘要

The present invention discloses polymeric materials that incorporate a modified quinone core structure, which serves as a cross-linking agent or a monomeric unit within the polymer. These polymers can be efficiently degraded through electrochemical reduction. Moreover, the polymer's degradation rate can be tuned by making predictable structural changes. The disclosed polymer compositions can be used to produce electrochemically degradable commodities such as adhesives, concrete and the like.
