Described herein are copoly(carbonate urethanes) with tunable properties. The copoly(carbonate urethanes) are produced from the reaction between an aryl diamine and an oligomer. By varying the molecular weight of the oligomer, the mechanical and thermal properties of the copoly(carbonate urethanes) can be modified (i.e., tuned). The copoly(carbonate urethanes) can be used to produce filaments for 3D printing applications that could have tunable properties for a variety of applications.

Photoresponsive polymers that comprise a unit derived from an amide functional diol compound that includes a coumarin group are provided. Advantageously, the photoresponsive groups of the photoresponsive polymers may be used to control the viscosity of the photoresponsive polymer. The photoresponsize polymers may also include units derived from amide functional diol compounds with include a fatty acid chain or a polyethylene glycol chain. The photoresponsive polymers may be used for 3d printing. When an adhesive group is added to a photoresponsive polymer they may be used as an adhesive. Adhesive groups include catechol groups.
