Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) responsive polymers, which can unzip from head to tail are reported. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic modification of the polymer was carried out for the formation of a polyelectrolyte complex and an amphiphilic nanoassembly, respect

For the autonomous repair of damaged materials, microcapsules are needed that release their contents in response to a variety of physical and chemical phenomena, not just by direct mechanical rupture. Herein we report a general route to programmable microcapsules. This method creates core-shell microcapsules with polymeric shell walls composed of self-immolative polymer networks. The polymers in these networks undergo a head-to-tail depolymerization upon removal of the triggering end group, leading to breakdown of the shell wall and subsequent release of the capsule's liquid interior. We report microcapsules with shell walls bearing both Boc and Fmoc triggering groups. The capsules release their contents only under conditions known to remove these triggering groups; otherwise, they retain their contents under a variety of conditions. In support of the proposed release mechanism, the capsule shell walls were observed to undergo physical cracking upon exposure to the triggering conditions.

Page/Page column 41-42, (2008/12/05)
Self-immolative polymers, designed to release a chemical moiety, or a plurality of chemical moieties, upon a pre-determined cleavage event, or sequences of events, are disclosed. The polymers can be simple polymers, comb polymers or branched polymers. Fur
