Self-healing metal-coordinated hydrogels using nucleotide ligands.

چکیده
A supramolecular gel formed by coordination of Zn(2+) with adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is reported. The adenine base, the monophosphate, and Zn(2+) are all important for gel formation. Mechanically disrupted gels can re-form upon centrifugation; applications of this gel for guest-molecule entrapment are explored.

Supramolecular metallogels with bulk self-healing properties prepared by in situ metal complexation.
In this feature article, we discuss a series of contributions dealing with the in situ fabrication of supramolecular metallogels (i.e. using low molecular weight ligands and metal ions) that show self-healing properties of the bulk gel phase after complete physical segregation. Most of the advances in this area have taken place during the last three years and are mainly represented by organogel...
متن کاملEngineering mechanical dissipation in solid poly ( ethylene glycol ) hydrogels
Growing evidence supports that the unique mechanical behavior of mussel byssal threads, such as high toughness and self-healing, rely on an intricate balance of permanent covalent and reversible metal coordination bonds. Inspired by this material crosslink chemistry balance, we synthesized polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels with two crosslinked networks; a primary permanent network composed of...
متن کاملGels and threads: mussel-inspired one-pot route to advanced responsive materials.
An inexpensive one-pot route to self-healing hydrogels with pH-tunable modulus is presented. Hydrogels were formed by reacting tannic acid, trivalent metal ions and polyallylamine. Below pH 8 the hydrogels were supramolecular while above, covalent cross-linking strengthened the hydrogels. From concentrated mixtures, threads were spun, acting as water sensitive mechanical locks.
متن کاملMussel-inspired histidine-based transient network metal coordination hydrogels.
Transient network hydrogels cross-linked through histidine-divalent cation coordination bonds were studied by conventional rheologic methods using histidine-modified star poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymers. These materials were inspired by the mussel, which is thought to use histidine-metal coordination bonds to impart self-healing properties in the mussel byssal thread. Hydrogel viscoelastic...
متن کاملExtremely Stretchable and Fast Self-Healing Hydrogels.
Dynamic crosslinking of extremely stretchable hydrogels with rapid self-healing ability is described. Using this new strategy, the obtained hydrogels are able to elongate 100 times compared to their initial length and to completely self-heal within 30 s without external energy input.
