Supramolecular Polymers: Historical Development, Preparation, Characterization, and Functions

Control over the Self‐Assembly Modes of PtII Complexes by Alkyl Chain Variation: From Slipped to Parallel π‐Stacks

“…Understanding the non-covalent forces that govern the formation of self-assembled structures and in particular supramolecular polymers, [1][2][3][4] is a prerequisite to construct functional materials, being optoelectronics and biomedicine two of the most prosperous research fields in this regard. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In order to achieve these functionalities, highlyordered, adaptive nanostructures formed via a cooperative supramolecular polymerization mechanism are highly desirable.…”

Dendronized Polymers with Ureidopyrimidinone Groups: An Efficient Strategy To Tailor Intermolecular Interactions, Rheology, and Fracture

“…Thus, 2a was obtained on a multi-gram scale (50 -60% yield from 1c). Subsequently, macromonomer 2b was quantitatively obtained from 2a in a coupling reaction with CDI-activated 6-methylisocytosine (3), which has been demonstrated in the literature to proceed smoothly with primary amines. 31 The two synthesized monomers, i.e.…”

“…[1][2][3] The versatility of their properties, which can vary from solid-like (for example, gels) to liquid-like, gives them a central role in several technological advances, including self-healing 4 and reinforced materials [5][6][7] , sensors 8,9 , cosmetics 10 , and drug delivery. 11,12 Despite the large body of literature on the dynamics of transient networks from associating polymers, tailoring the molecular features of polymers in order to achieve optimal properties, e.g.…”

Supramolecular Nested Microbeads as Building Blocks for Macroscopic Self‐Healing Scaffolds

“…CB[8] is a macrocyclic host molecule that is capable of simultaneously encapsulating two guests within its cavity, forming a robust heteroternary host–guest complex 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34. As illustrated in Figure 1 b, the threading of CB[8] host molecules into highly branched polyrotaxane main chains with a first guest of viologen (MV) provides multiple host units in each macromolecular chain of HBPCB[8].…”
