Previous couplings of corrosion inhibitors to redox-responsive polymers via covalent bonding suffer from several drawbacks. It is presented here novel redox-responsive polymer-corrosion inhibitor conjugates that contain self-immolative linkers in their side chains. Very fast redox-induced release of tryptamine, a drug and a corrosion inhibitor, is observed after applying a reductive trigger.
