A novel supramolecular polymer PAE-g-Azo@β-CD-PEG was constructed, which significantly displayed pH- and photo-dual-responsive recurrent self-assembly behaviors.
Tunable assembly and disassembly of stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymer brushes are induced by using host–guest interactions between β-cyclodextrin and azobenzene groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
