Our research focuses on the development of macromolecular materials capable of releasing small organic molecules in response to mechanical or thermal stimulus. We will discuss new classes of mechanophores capable of either direct release of small molecules or triggering a cascade release by initiating head-to-tail depolymerizations. Recent findings on new thermally-responsive materials will also be presented, which will focus on the use of oxazines as linkers for small molecule attachment and thermally-activated release.
