(a) An insoluble crystalline polymorphic state inhibits supramolecular polymerization at high concentrations. (b) Mixing the coformer molecule with the parent monomer in the solidification process ...

Supramolecular polymers are a new class of polymers that are currently being evaluated for material applications. These interesting compounds also play an important role in cellular activities in the ...

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

The properties of supramolecular polymers are dictated by the self-assembled state of the molecules. However, not much is known about the impact of morphologies on the properties of nano- and ...

Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers have developed an ...

The self-assembled state of the molecules determines the characteristics of supramolecular polymers. On the other hand, nothing is understood about how morphologies affect the characteristics of ...

Scientists experimenting with next-generation plastics at Finland's University of Turku have developed a form of the material with some impressive capabilities, most notably an ability to quickly ...

While this scanning electron microscope image may look like a harbinger of doom—perhaps a symptom of a haunted instrument or a cursed lab—Gustavo Porrata Caraballo says there’s a perfectly rational ...

Supramolecular polymers (SPs) are expected to be used as highly recyclable polymer materials. However, their application is hindered by the low solubility of monomer compounds associated with the ...
