To demonstrate its capability in rapidly depolymerizing in presence of UV-light, DiLauro et al. synthesized a PPA polymer with two UV-sensitive endcaps, 2-nitro-4,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol and 1-[[(chlorocarbonyl)oxy]methyl]-4,5-dimethoxy-2 nitrobenzene, and were able to achieve complete depolymerization in a few minutes. In a practical application in organic electronics, cyclic PPA in the presence of 2-(4-methoxystyryl)-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (MBTT used as PAG) undergoes depolymerization upon exposure to UV-light, which in turn deactivates the transient electronics. Another similar application in transient electronics was reported where an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) was integrated on the PPA substrate and can cause depolymerization in the presence of a PAG.
