Supramolecular copolymers with stimuli-responsive sequence control.
We report a novel responsive supramolecular copolymer able to change its monomer sequence as a result of molecular stimuli. Nucleic acids and RNAse are used as molecular inputs, controlling the clustering of specific monomers along the polymer backbone. This opens new ways towards the molecular control of synthetic supramolecular networks.

DEDICATION To my husband Jeffrey, my parents, and my son v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I need to thank of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Chemistry Department for giving me such an invaluable chance to study here. Thank you to my advisor and mentor, Professor Sankaran Thayumanavan, for the chance to do research in such a wonderful research group. Thank you for all of the direction, s...
متن کاملActive Polymer Gel Actuators
Many kinds of stimuli-responsive polymer and gels have been developed and applied to biomimetic actuators or artificial muscles. Electroactive polymers that change shape when stimulated electrically seem to be particularly promising. In all cases, however, the mechanical motion is driven by external stimuli, for example, reversing the direction of electric field. On the other hand, many living ...
متن کاملPolyoxometalate-based Supramolecular Gel
Self-assemblyings of surfactant-encapsulated Wells-Dawson polyoxometalates (SEPs) nanobuilding blocks in butanone and esters yielded supramolecular gels showing thermo and photo responsive properties. The gels can be further polymerized if unsaturated esters were used and subsequently electrospinned into nanowires and non-woven mats. The as-prepared non-woven mats have a Young's modulus as high...
متن کاملIonoprinted Multi-Responsive Hydrogel Actuators
We report multi-responsive and double-folding bilayer hydrogel sheet actuators, whose directional bending response is tuned by modulating the solvent quality and temperature and where locally crosslinked regions, induced by ionoprinting, enable the actuators to invert their bending axis. The sheets are made multi-responsive by combining two stimuli responsive gels that incur opposing and comple...
