The reversible modification of acrylate adhesive system by introducing anthracene groups

Designed to Degrade: Tailoring Polyesters for Circularity

“…240 Short-chain polyester linkers of varying lengths were end-functionalized with coumarin derivatives to study their dimerization behavior. 228,232 By incorporating a methyl substituent on coumarin, both the stereochemistry and photoreactivity could be controlled. Using unsubstituted structures was shown to lead to a preferential head-to-head conformation of dimers, while the methyl substituent led to exclusive formation of only head-to-tail conformation.…”

“…Photoreversible groups have also been implemented to develop reusable and self-healing thermosetting adhesives. , The utilization of photoreversible bonds instead of thermoreversible bonds offers advantages in terms of energy efficiency, targetability as well as wider useable temperature range . There is still limited work on combining polyester-based adhesives with photoreversibility.…”

“…Different factors determining the structural features of dimers, including both competition between different conformations, as well as competition between inter molecular versus intra molecular dimerization, have been investigated . Short-chain polyester linkers of varying lengths were end-functionalized with coumarin derivatives to study their dimerization behavior. , By incorporating a methyl substituent on coumarin, both the stereochemistry and photoreactivity could be controlled. Using unsubstituted structures was shown to lead to a preferential head-to-head conformation of dimers, while the methyl substituent led to exclusive formation of only head-to-tail conformation.…”
