A PA polymer according to Formula (1) or (2):
- wherein:
- A is independently selected from a direct carbon-carbon single bond, O, N(R1) and S;
- R1 is independently selected from H and CH3;
- R2 is independently selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) C1-C40 alkylene, wherein the alkylene group may be linear or branched and is optionally substituted and/or is optionally unsaturated and/or is optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms, wherein the heteroatoms are independently selected from O, N and S, and/or wherein the alkylene group is interrupted by one or more —S—S— groups;
- (b) C3-C40 cycloalkylene, wherein the cycloalkylene group is optionally substituted and/or is optionally unsaturated and/or optionally comprises one or more heteroatoms in the ring, wherein the heteroatoms are independently selected from O, N and S, and/or wherein the cycloalkylene group is interrupted by one or more —S—S— groups outside the ring;
- (c) C6-C40 arylene, wherein the arylene group is optionally substituted;
- (d) C6-C40 heteroarylene, wherein the heteroarylene group comprises one, two or three heteroatoms independently selected from O, N and S and/or wherein the heteroarylene group is optionally substituted;
- (e) C7-C40 alkylarylene wherein the alkylarylene group is optionally substituted and/or wherein an alkyl part of the alkylarylene group is linear or branched and is optionally unsaturated and/or is optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms, wherein the heteroatoms are independently selected from O, N and S, and/or wherein an alkyl part of the alkylarylene group is interrupted by one or more —S—S— groups;
- (f) C7-C40 alkylheteroarylene, wherein the alkylheteroarylene group comprises one, two or three heteroatoms independently selected from O, N and S and/or wherein the alkylheteroarylene group is optionally substituted, and/or wherein an alkyl part of the alkylheteroarylene group is linear or branched and is optionally unsaturated and/or is optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms, wherein the heteroatoms are independently selected from O, N and S, and/or wherein an alkyl part of the alkylheteroarylene group is interrupted by one or more —S—S— groups;
- and
- (g) a group wherein two C7-C40 (hetero)arylene groups and/or C7-C40 alkyl(hetero)arylene groups are connected to each other by a —S—S— group, wherein the alkyl part of the alkyl(hetero)arylene group is linear or branched and is optionally unsaturated and/or is optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms, wherein the heteroatoms are independently selected from O, N and S;
