Molecular origin of supramolecular self-assembling in statistical copolymers

The influence of structural modification and composition of glycidyl carbamate resins on their viscosity and coating performance

“…Figure 6 shows the proposed structures of BGC, BGC1BuOH, and BGC-DB. The study of Breedveld and co-authors 16 and Stadler and co-authors 17,18 showed that a high degree of interchain connectivity and network formation in the polymers could be produced due to hydrogen bonding, influencing their rheological properties. The viscosity of the resins was found to depend on the type of the alcohols and ether alcohols used for the modification of their structures.…”

Cross-linked and functionalized ‘universal polymer backbones’ via simple, rapid, and orthogonal multi-site self-assembly

“…In particular hydrogen-bonding has been reported widely by a variety of authors. 3 -11 Impressive examples include the work by Stadler and co-workers who reported reversible polymer network formation via intermolecular hydrogen bonding of urazoylbenzoic acid groups situated at the chain ends of polyisobutylene 12,13 and Coates and co-workers who synthesized reversible thermoplastic elastomers using self-dimerizing ureidopyrimidone units. 7 Furthermore, Rotello and co-workers have exploited thymine-diaminopyridine interactions to prepare micron-sized aggregates via simple mixing of bisthymine cross-linking agents and diaminopyridine functionalized poly(styrene).…”

Physically crosslinked elastomers prepared from oligomeric polyolefins with mesogenic units

“…For example, several reports on the synthesis and properties of such self-assembling polymers using hydrogen bonding were published. [3][4][5] The research group of one of the authors (Ikeda et al) also synthesized a novel amphiphilic elastomer, i.e., butyl rubber with D-maltose derivative as pendant groups. 6 The hydrogen bonding of saccharide brought about the aggregation of D-maltose derivatives to form the domains in butyl rubber matrix.…”
