Off-lattice Monte Carlo Simulation of Supramolecular Polymer Architectures [PDF]

, 2010
We introduce an efficient, scalable Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate cross-linked architectures of freely-jointed and discrete worm-like chains. Bond movement is based on the discrete tractrix construction, which effects conformational changes that ...

Mesoporous phenolic/carbon materials templated by CO2-based PEO-b-PCHC diblock copolymers through mediated competitive intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions for CO2 capture

Journal of CO2 Utilization
The CO2-based diblock copolymer, poly(ethylene oxide-b-cyclohexene carbonate) (PEO-b-PCHC), was synthesized via ring opening copolymerization (ROCOP) by using PEO as a macro-chain-transfer agent. Theses diblock copolymers were comprehensive characterized

Adhesion and non-linear rheology of adhesives with supramolecular crosslinking points

, 2016
Soft supramolecular materials are promising for the design of innovative and highly tunable adhesives. These materials are composed of polymer chains functionalized by strongly interacting moieties, sometimes called "stickers". In order to systematically

Exploiting metallophilicity for the assembly of inorganic nanocrystals and conjugated organic molecules [PDF]

, 2016
The accurate engineering of interfaces between inorganic nanocrystals and semiconducting organic molecules is currently viewed as key for further developments in critical fields such as photovoltaics and photocatalysis.

Optically healable supramolecular polymers [PDF]

Nature, 2011
Polymers with the ability to repair themselves after sustaining damage could extend the lifetimes of materials used in many applications. Most approaches to healable materials require heating the damaged area. Here we present metallosupramolecular polymers that can be mended through exposure to light.

Molecular access to multi-dimensionally encoded information [PDF]

, 2019
Polymer scientist have only recently realized that information storage on the molecular level is not only restricted to DNA-based systems. Similar encoding and decoding of data have been demonstrated on synthetic polymers that could overcome some of the ...

Self-assembly of electroactive systems: from dimers to supramolecular polymers [PDF]

, 2018
Supramolecular aggregates and polymers are macromolecular entities that grow up by the non-covalent interaction of suitable monomeric units. In the search for new materials for optoelectronic applications through self-assembly, the control over the ...

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

Light-induced unfolding and refolding of supramolecular polymer nanofibres

Nature Communications, 2017
Dynamically controlling the conformations of 1D elongated supramolecular polymers can induce functions comparable to protein folding/unfolding. Here the authors show light-induced conformational changes of azobenzene-based supramolecular polymers from ...

Wormlike reverse micelles in lecithin/bile salt/water mixtures in oil [PDF]

, 2017
Knowing the ability of water and bile salts to promote the reverse wormlike micelle growth in lecithin/water or lecithin/bile salt mixtures in oil, this work was aimed at elucidating the association properties of the three solutes lecithin, water and the
