Triggerable transient electronics are demonstrated with the use of a metastable poly(phthalaldehyde) polymer substrate and encapsulant. The rate degradation is controlled by concentration photo-acid generator UV irradiance. This work expands on materials that can be used for demonstrating transience in response to preselected trigger without need solution-based degradation.
