Self-Immolative Bottlebrush Polypentenamers and their Macromolecular Metamorphosis

23 May 2019, Version 1
Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

The complete depolymerization of a polypentenamer bottlebrush backbone and the kinetic principles involved are discussed. The deconstruction of the bottlebrush occurs from end-to-end in a self-immolative fashion producing individual linear grafts. The phenomenon paints a clearer picture on the original bottlebrush design. Architecture transformations from bottlebrush to linear to star polymers through facile means is explored.
