The role of supramolecular chemistry in stimuli responsive and hierarchically structured functional organic materials

open access: yes, 2014
: In this review, we show the important role of supramolecular chemistry in the fabrication of stimuli responsive and hierarchically structured liquid crystalline polymer networks. Supramolecular interactions can be used to create three dimensional order
