o-Nitrobenzyl Alcohol Derivatives: Opportunities in Polymer and Materials Science

Zhao, Hui, Sterner, Elizabeth S., Coughlin, E. Bryan, Theato, Patrick·2012·Macromolecules

Abstract

Polymers featuring photolabile groups are the subject of intense research because they allow the alteration of polymer properties simply by irradiation. In particular, the o -nitrobenzyl group ( o -NB) is utilized frequently in polymer and materials science. This Perspective pays particular attention to the increasing utilization of this chemical group in polymer chemistry. It covers the use of (i) o -NB-based cross-linkers for photodegradable hydrogels, (ii) o -NB side chain functionalization in (block) copolymers, (iii) o -NB side chain functionalization for thin film patterning, (iv) o -NB for self-assembled monolayers, (v) photocleavable block copolymers, and (vi) photocleavable bioconjugates. We conclude with an outlook on new research directions in this rapidly expanding area.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
