“Responsive Materials Based on Non-Covalent Interactions”
Abstract:
Supramolecular polymers are furnished by the assembly of monomeric units equipped with binding motifs that form directional, non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, π-interactions, or metal-ligand coordination complexes. Exposure of the bulk polymers to external stimuli such as heat, light, mechanical force, or certain chemicals disrupts the reversible and dynamic linkages, leading to a disassembly into the monomers and pronounced changes of the materials properties.
