The present disclosure provides copolymers prepared by polymerizing a first monomer comprising at least one C═C and/or at least one C═C; and a second monomer of Formula (B): wherein at least one first monomer and/or at least one second monomer comprises a latent-fluoride moiety (e.g., pentafluorophenyl). Upon contacting the copolymers with a nucleophile (e.g., a thiol) and/or a base, the latent-fluoride moiety may release fluoride ions, which may in turn degrade the copolymers by cleaving the O—Si bonds. The copolymers may be useful for drug delivery, or as degradable (e.g., biodegradable) polymers, adhesives, coatings, or structural materials.
A first monomer, wherein the first monomer is of Formula (A1):
A second monomer, wherein the second monomer is of Formula (B1):
A copolymer prepared by a method comprising polymerizing:
