Molecular modelling of supramolecular polymers

Metallo-supramolecular cyclic polymers.

Cyclic brush polymers represent an exciting new macromolecular topology. For the first time, this new topology has been combined with metallo-supramolecular interactions to construct novel cyclic brush polymers. Here, ring-expansion metathesis polymerization was used to synthesize a universal cyclic template with a polynorbornene backbone, which was further modified with the metal-chelating syn...

Supramolecular Polymers with Orthogonal Functionality

Supramolecular Polymers with Orthogonal Functionality Report Title Supramolecular polymers with orthogonal interactions are of broad interest, and reports on such materials with multifunctional stimuli-responsive behavior are rare. Polymer blends based on a poly(ethylene-co-butylene) core (PEB) terminated with either 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) hydrogen-bonding motifs (UPy-PEB-UPy) or 2,6...

Scaffolding of Polymers by Supramolecular Nanoribbons

metallic structures with a height of 100 lm have been microfabricated and characterized. Photoactive nanocomposites have been formed using nanoparticles with covalently attached photoreducing dye molecules. These nanocomposites are active to both photon and electron-beam stimuli and yield continuous metallic structures. We believe that optical or electron-beam induced growth of nanoparticles pr...
