Supramolecular copolymers with stimuli-responsive sequence control.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a novel responsive supramolecular copolymer able to change its monomer sequence as a result of molecular stimuli. Nucleic acids and RNAse are used as molecular inputs, controlling the clustering of specific monomers along the polymer backbone. This opens new ways towards the molecular control of synthetic supramolecular networks.

Precise Control over the Rheological Behavior of Associating Stimuli-Responsive Block Copolymer Gels
“Smart” materials have considerably evolved over the last few years for specific applications. They rely on intelligent macromolecules or (supra-)molecular motifs to adapt their structure and properties in response to external triggers. Here, a supramolecular stimuli-responsive polymer gel is constructed from heterotelechelic double hydrophilic block copolymers that incorporate thermo-responsiv...
متن کاملAlternation and tunable composition in hydrogen bonded supramolecular copolymers.
Sequence control in supramolecular copolymers is limited by the selectivity of the associating monomer end groups. Here we introduce the use of monomers with aminopyrimidinone and aminohydroxynaphthyridine quadruple hydrogen bonding end groups, which both homodimerize, but form even stronger heterodimers. These features allow the formation of supramolecular copolymers with a tunable composition...

Novel sugar-responsive block copolymers were prepared by RAFT block copolymerization of unprotected boronic acid monomers, providing a direct route to supramolecular assemblies that dissociate upon the addition of glucose.
متن کاملDual Stimuli-Responsive Supramolecular Hydrogel Based on Hybrid Inclusion Complex (HIC)
A novel dual-responsive supramolecular hydrogel composed of an azobenzene (AZO) endfunctionalized block copolymer PDMA-b-PNIPAM (AZO-(PDMA-b-PNIPAM)) and β-cyclodextrin-modified CdS quantum dot (β-CD@QD) has been demonstrated. Based on the host-guest inclusion complexation of AZO of the block copolymers and CD cavities on β-CD@QD, they form a hybrid inclusion complex (HIC). The HIC contains a Q...
متن کاملMolecular basis of cooperativity in pH-triggered supramolecular self-assembly
Supramolecular self-assembly offers a powerful strategy to produce high-performance, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials. However, lack of molecular understanding of stimulated responses frequently hampers our ability to rationally design nanomaterials with sharp responses. Here we elucidated the molecular pathway of pH-triggered supramolecular self-assembly of a series of ultra-pH sensitive (UPS)...
