A multilayered supramolecular self-assembled structure from soybean oil by in situ polymerization and its applications.

Transformation of Soybean Oil to Various Self- Assembled Supramolecular Structures

Compression, supramolecular organization and free radical polymerization of ethylene gas

At low pressure, ethylene gas consists of single translating and rotating molecules and behaves as an ideal gas. With decrease of free volume by compression, various rotating supramolecular particles are formed, which require less space for the movement: molecular pairs, bimolecules and oligomolecules. The appearance of a new kind of particles is manifested as a phase transition of the second o...

Supramolecular polymerization from polypeptide-grafted comb polymers.

The helical and tubular structures self-assembled from proteins have inspired scientists to design synthetic building blocks that can be "polymerized" into supramolecular polymers through coordinated noncovalent interactions. However, cooperative supramolecular polymerization from large, synthetic macromolecules remains a challenge because of the difficulty of controlling the structure and inte...

Alkyl bicarbamates supramolecular organogelators with effective selective gelation and high oil recovery from oil/water mixtures.

A series of alkyl bicarbamates supramolecular organogelators were synthesized with different structures and lengths of alkyl chains. The driving forces for the self-assembly of small molecules, including the intermolecular H bonding, π-π stacking and van der Waals interactions, played an important role in the formation of different 3D network structures, i.e., fibers, ribbons, sheets, and prism...

Controlled polymerization and self-assembly of a supramolecular star polymer with a guanosine quadruplex core.

A novel supramolecular star polymer is reported, which can be prepared either from atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of a self-assembled initiator or from self-assembly of a guanosine-capped linear polymer.
