Memory Effect in Thermoresponsive Proline‐based Polymers
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2022 AbstractWe report that synthetic polymers consisting of L‐proline monomer units exhibit temperature‐driven aggregation in water with unprecedented hysteresis. This protein‐like behavior is robust and governed by the chirality of the proline units. It paves the way to new processes, driven by either temperature or ionic strength changes, such as a ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Aqueous Zn(II) Salphen metallofibers decorated with PNIPAM undergo reversible, multi‐stimuli‐responsive hierarchical bundling. This higher‐order structuring kinetically stabilizes the otherwise fragile assemblies against dilution, acidic hydrolysis, and transmetallation, enables selective sorting of responsive fibers, and programs hydrogelation at ...
