Abstrakt: We report the photo-induced, additive-free, continuous synthesis of polymeric particles using flow chemistry. Not only can these particles be formed under ambient conditions in a solely light-induced precipitation polymerisation, they can be prepared viacontinuous flow techniques to up-scale the synthetic process. We carefully assess the flow chemical parameters and analyse the resulting particles quantitatively using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Particle formation is a direct result of the step-growth polymerisation viaa photochemically induced AA + BB Diels–Alder reaction, which we herein base on the dialdehyde monomer (AA) derived from the sustainable precursor, thymol. By employing a peroxyoxalate bismaleimide (BB), we introduce particles that can be selectively degraded on-demand, self-reported by light emission through chemiluminescence.
