White LED-induced and metal-free degradation method for PMMA derivatives containing halogens at the main chain using organodyes was developed and reported. Physical properties of synthesized copolymers and the kinetics of the method were investigated by DSC, TGA, 1H-NMR and GPC analyses. Degradations up to 80% were observed at ambient temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
