“…Perhaps the earliest report of such a process is from Herrmann and Haehnel, who studied poly(vinyl alcohol) and found that it successfully forms acetals with benzaldehyde in the late 1920s. 55 Poly(vinyl acetal)s-especially poly(vinyl butyral)-have since then become a valuable industrial material, with numerous applications including coatings and adhesives 56 ; development of novel poly(vinyl acetal)s-e.g., more sustainable ones-continues to be a subject of modern research. 57,58 Other condensation-type mechanisms-e.g., aldol condensation, lactonization, and anhydride formation-have been explored in the subsequent years.…”

Polymers are at the epicenter of modern technological progress and ensuing environmental pollution. Considerations of both polymer functionality and lifecycle are crucial in these contexts, and the polymer backbone—the core of a polymer—is at the root of these issues. Just as the meaning of a sentence can be altered through editing the words, so too could the function and sustainability of a polymer be transformed through chemical modification of its backbone. Yet, polymer modification has primarily been focused on the polymer periphery. In this Review, we attempt to bring a greater focus to transformations of the polymer backbone by defining some concepts fundamental to this topic (e.g., “polymer backbone” and “backbone editing”), collecting and categorizing examples of backbone editing scattered throughout a century’s-worth of chemistry literature, and outlining critical directions for further research. In so doing, we lay the foundation for the field of polymer backbone editing and hope to accelerate its development.

“…These ultrathin films were prepared by spin-coating onto polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDAC)-functionalized silicon wafers and subsequently delaminated in water. , The method has been established for polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate), as well as for polyvinyl formal (PVF) . PVF is a polymer with excellent stability , and mechanical properties, , which has been used as electrical insulation coatings and as ion-conducting membranes for Li batteries. , With the spin-coating/delamination technique, large-area ultrathin PVF films could be fabricated for thin-film capacitors, organic light-emitting diodes, and organic field effect transistors …”

“…For example, the most abundantly created and degraded polymer on earth is cellulose, which harbors half of all organic carbon. Each monomer is connected by an acetal functional group, but this functionality is nearly absent in the commercial polymer repertoire (save for polyoxymethylene and polyvinyl butyral).…”
