Optically responsive supramolecular polymer glasses
The reversible and dynamic nature of non-covalent interactions between the constituting building blocks renders many supramolecular polymers stimuli-responsive. This was previously exploited to create thermally and optically healable polymers, but it proved challenging to achieve high stiffness and good healability. Here we present a glass-forming supramolecular material that is based on a trif...
متن کاملUltrastable nanostructured polymer glasses.
Owing to the kinetic nature of the glass transition, the ability to significantly alter the properties of amorphous solids by the typical routes to the vitreous state is restricted. For instance, an order of magnitude change in the cooling rate merely modifies the value of the glass transition temperature (T(g)) by a few degrees. Here we show that matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE...
متن کاملOptically- and thermally-responsive programmable materials based on carbon nanotube-hydrogel polymer composites.
A simple approach is described to fabricate reversible, thermally- and optically responsive actuators utilizing composites of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) loaded with single-walled carbon nanotubes. With nanotube loading at concentrations of 0.75 mg/mL, we demonstrate up to 5 times enhancement to the thermal response time of the nanotube-pNIPAM hydrogel actuators caused by the enhanced ...
متن کاملA redox-responsive cationic supramolecular polymer constructed from small molecules as a promising gene vector.
A novel class of redox-responsive cationic supramolecular polymer with effective DNA condensation ability and H2O2-induced DNA release behavior has been successfully constructed from small molecules. This supramolecular polymer can be used in vitro as a promising nonviral vector for gene therapy.
متن کاملElectrochemical stimulus-responsive supramolecular polymer based on sulfonatocalixarene and viologen dimers.
A water-soluble supramolecular polymer based on homoditopic calixarene and viologen has been constructed, and its reversible formation can be well controlled by electrochemical stimulus.
