Photopolymerizable thermoplastics and methods of making and using same

A thermoplastic polymer of formula (I-A):

• wherein:
• each occurrence of Z is independently CH2 or O;
• each occurrence of A is independently absent or selected from the group consisting of (—CH2—)n5, (—CH2—)n5—O—C(═O)—, and (—CH2CH2O—)n5;
• each occurrence of Q is independently absent, optionally substituted C6-C18 arylene, or optionally substituted C2-C15 alkylene;
• each occurrence of X is independently selected from the group consisting of:
• optionally substituted C6-C18 arylene, optionally substituted C2-C15 alkylene,
• —O—, —S—, —S—S—, and
• wherein:
• each instance of Y is independently O, C6-C18 arylene, or C6-C18 heteroarylene;
• each instance of R′ is independently selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted C1-C15 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-C15 heteroalkyl, optionally substituted C2-C15 alkenyl, optionally substituted C2-C15 hetero alkenyl, optionally C2-C15 alkynyl, optionally substituted C2-C15 hetero alkynyl, optionally substituted C5-C7 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted C5-C7 heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted C6-C18 aryl, and optionally substituted C6-C18 heteroaryl;
• each instance of n is independently an integer from 2 to 200,000;
• each instance of n1 is independently an integer from 0 to 25;
• each instance of n2 is independently an integer from 0 to 25;
• each instance of n3 is independently an integer from 0 to 25;
• each instance of n4 is independently an integer from 1 to 12;
• each instance of n5 is independently an integer from 1 to 10;
• and
• wherein the thermoplastic polymer is semi-crystalline and has a melting point of about 70° C. to about 120° C.
