Thermo-cleavable polymers: Materials with enhanced photochemical stability
Photochemical stability of three thermo-cleavable polymers was investigated as thin films under atmospheric conditions. A significant increase in lifetime was observed once the side-chain was cleaved emphasizing the detrimental effect of solubilizing groups on the photochemical stability of conjugated polymers.
In addition to their ease of processing, thermo-cleavable polymers thus also offer a greater intrinsic stability under illumination.
