Trigger sequence can influence final morphology in the self-assembly of asymmetric telechelic polymers.
We report on a numerical study of polymer network formation of asymmetric biomimetic telechelic polymers with two reactive ends based on a self-assembling collagen, elastin or silk-like polypeptide sequence. The two reactive ends of the polymer can be activated independently using physicochemical triggers such as temperature and pH. We show, using a simple coarse grained model that the order in...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly of Telechelic Tyrosine End-Capped PEO and Poly(alanine) Polymers in Aqueous Solution.
The self-assembly in aqueous solution of three novel telechelic conjugates comprising a central hydrophilic polymer and short (trimeric or pentameric) tyrosine end-caps has been investigated. Two of the conjugates have a central poly(oxyethylene) (polyethylene oxide, PEO) central block with different molar masses. The other conjugate has a central poly(L-alanine) (PAla) sequence in a purely ami...
متن کاملHierarchical self-assembly of telechelic star polymers: from soft patchy particles to gels and diamond crystals
The design of self-assembling materials in the nanometer scale focuses on the fabrication of a class of organic and inorganic subcomponents that can be reliably produced on a large scale and tailored according to their vast applications for, e.g. electronics, therapeutic vectors and diagnostic imaging agent carriers, or photonics. In a recent publication (Capone et al 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 ...
متن کاملShear banding in simulated telechelic polymers
The response of simulated telechelic polymers to shear is investigated. End groups of short polymeric chains form temporary junctions that are continuously broken and formed over time. As in experiments, two shear bands coexist for some shear rates. This allows us to study the microscopic differences between these shear bands. We find that the lifetime of a junction is lower in the high shear r...
متن کاملthe relationship between academic self-concept and academic achievement in english and general subjects of the students of high school
according to research, academic self-concept and academic achievement are mutually interdependent. in the present study, the aim was to determine the relationship between the academic self-concept and the academic achievement of students in english as a foreign language and general subjects. the participants were 320 students studying in 4th grade of high school in three cities of noor, nowshah...
