Introduction Current challenges in academic research laboratory safety are rooted in independent management of a diverse set of chemicals and procedures as well as a high turnover of graduate student and postdoctoral researchers. While all researchers receive relevant Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) compliance training, site-specific training and the development of a safety-oriented mindset are usually left to individual research groups.
Abstract We describe the 3-iodopropyl acetal moiety as a simple cleavable unit that undergoes acid catalyzed hydrolysis to liberate HI (pKa ~ -10) and acrolein stoichiometrically. Integrating this unit into linear and network polymers gives a class of macromolecules that undergo a new mechanism of degradation with an acid amplified, sigmoidal rate. This trigger-responsive self-amplified degradable polymer undergoes accelerated rate of degradation and agent release.
