Laura's first paper was published in Polymer! Congratulations to all !!!

We reported mechanical force unlocks latent cyclobutene cleavage sites in high-molecular-weight polyacrylonitrile (PAN) copolymers, enabling on-demand degradation into soluble low-molecular-weight fragments under mild methanolysis conditions.
