Heteronucleobase-functionalized benzoxazine: synthesis, thermal properties, and self-assembled structure formed through multiple hydrogen bonding interactions

Thymine- and Adenine-Functionalized Polystyrene Form Self-Assembled Structures through Multiple Complementary Hydrogen Bonds

“…The binding forces in systems featuring multiple hydrogen bonds can be tuned, leading to inter-association equilibrium constants (K A ) ranging from several hundred up to more than 10 6 [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. The most important arrays of multiple hydrogen bonding interactions are those found in complex biological systems, for example, DNA, a very influential structure in polymer science that is often presented as a defined macromolecule possessing a nearly perfect molecular structure.…”

“…There is much interest in supramolecular structures based on complementary multiple-hydrogen-bond arrays prepared from synthetic polymers presenting nucleotide bases on their side chains [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. The binding forces in systems featuring multiple hydrogen bonds can be tuned, leading to inter-association equilibrium constants (K A ) ranging from several hundred up to more than 10 6 [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Thiol reactive polybenzoxazine precursors: A novel route to functional polymers by thiol-oxazine chemistry

“…Another important feature of polybenzoxazines is the simple synthesis of their monomers. Basically, any suitable primary amine and phenolic compound could form 1,3-benzoxazine monomers with formaldehyde (Scheme 1) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The only possible drawback in monomer synthesis is the selection of functional groups on starting materials and solvent systems that suppress the reaction.…”

Self-Assembled Structures of Diblock Copolymer/Homopolymer Blends through Multiple Complementary Hydrogen Bonds

“…We have also studied the application of multiple hydrogen bonds in modifying the miscibility behavior and supramolecular structures of several nucleobase-functionalized polymers prepared through free radical polymerization [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]. We found that the preparation of highly A-or T-functionalized vinylbenzyl monomers can be difficult, due to the polarities of these hetero-nucleobase monomers being significantly different from those of typical commercial monomers (e.g., methacrylate or styrene monomers) [52][53][54].…”
