Macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) is arecent development in supramolecular chemistry to associate visible building blocks through non-covalent interactions in amultivalent manner.Although various substrates (e.g.hydrogels,r igid materials) have been used, ag eneral design rule of building blocks in MSA systems and interpretation of the assembly mechanism are lacking and are required. [3] Currently,m ost reports on MSA attained the aforementioned multivalent effects by either using highly flowable hydrogel systems [2,[5][6][7][8] or applying af lexible spacing coating to rigid materials, [3,9] such as, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polymethyl methacrylate; both strategies reveal the intrinsic material property of low elastic modulus providing ah igh degree of freedom of the interactive moieties,u nderlying the success of MSA. Moreover,this MSA rule applies well to the design of materials for fast underwater adhesion:S oft substrates (0.5 MPa) can achieve underwater adhesion within 10 sw ith one order of magnitude higher strength than that of rigid substrates (2.5 MPa).
Macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA), which represents aprocess of two macroscopic surfaces with numerous interactive groups associating through non-covalent interactions in amultivalent manner,has been developed as aunique methodology to fabricate bulk supramolecular materials by directly using building blocks larger than ten micrometer.
