Abstract: Self-immolative polymers and compositions comprising such polymers are described. The polymers are copolymers of phthalaldehyde and one or more additional aldehydes and can degrade/decompose upon exposure to a desired stimulus, like light, heat, sound, or chemical trigger. The copolymers can be linear or cyclic, and can be crosslinked or uncrosslinked. Polymer compositions, including multilayered and multiregioned compositions, containing the copolymers are disclosed. These compositions can contain agents such as crosslinking agents, crosslinking catalysts, photocatalysts, thermocatalyst, sensitizers, chemical amplifiers, freezing point depressing agent, photo-response delaying agents, and the like. Methods of making and using the copolymers are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an epoxy-functionalized sacrificial polymer, wherein the sacrificial polymer decomposes into one or more gaseous decomposition products at a temperature of 180° C. or less for a period of time of 24 hrs or less. Also disclosed are compositions comprising a copolymer derived from an epoxy resin; an epoxy-functionalized sacrificial polymer; and optionally a crosslinker. The epoxy-functionalized sacrificial polymer can be derived from a polycarbonate. Methods of preparing the copolymers described herein are also disclosed. Porous films derived from the copolymers described herein, wherein a majority of the sacrificial polymer in the composition has been degraded to form pores in the porous film are also disclosed.
