Synthesis schematic of CUPOMC polymers. The monomers citric acid, 1,8-octanediol, and maleic acid underwent polycondensation to produce hydroxyl group capped Pre-POMC in step 1. In step 2, 1,6-hexamethyl diisocyanate was used to extend the Pre-POMC chain. In step 3, the Pre-CUPOMC was thermo- and/or UV-crosslinked to obtain CUPOMC network.
