Substituted phenacyl molecules are provided and employed to create molecules and polymers/copolymers that exhibit photoresponsiveness. In some instances, the substituted phenacyl molecule is incorporated into the polymer/copolymer backbone, and photoirradiation of the polymer/copolymer causes the substituted phenacyl group to break down and the polymer/copolymer to undergo degradation. In other instances, the substituted phenacyl molecules extend as a side chain from the polymer/copolymer backbone. In yet other instances the substituted phenacyl molecules extend as a side chain from the polymer/copolymer backbone, and a drug or polymer additive is linked to the photoresponsive substituted phenacyl group such that photoirradiation releases the drug or additive. In yet other embodiments the substituted phenacyl molecules extend as a side chain from the polymer/copolymer backbone, and serve to link the polymer/copolymer to another polymer/copolymer backbone, and photoirradiation breaks the links.
