| abstract |
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. Further disclosed are methods of usage, compositions and articles-of-manufactures containing the self-immolative polymers, and processes for preparing the same. |
