Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on poly­(acrylate) chemistry are common in a wide variety of applications, but the absence of backbone degradability causes issues with recycling and sustainability. Here, we report a strategy to create degradable poly­(acrylate) PSAs using simple, scalable,...
