Supramolecular polymeric hydrogels
Chemical Society Reviews, 2012Co-Authors: Eric A. Appel, Jesús Del Barrio, Xian Jun Loh, Oren A SchermanAbstract:The supramolecular crosslinking of polymer chains in water by specific, directional and dynamic Non-Covalent Interactions has led to the development of novel supramolecular polymeric hydrogels. These aqueous polymeric networks constitute an interesting class of soft materials exhibiting attractive properties such as stimuli-responsiveness and self-healing arising from their dynamic behaviour and that are crucial for a wide variety of emerging applications. We present here a critical review summarising the formation of dynamic polymeric networks through specific Non-Covalent Interactions, with a particular emphasis on those systems based on host-guest complex formation, as well as the characterisation of their physical characteristics. Aqueous supramolecular chemistry has unlocked a versatile toolbox for the design and fine-tuning of the material properties of these hydrogels (264 references).

Single chain folding of synthetic polymers by covalent and Non-Covalent Interactions: Current status and future perspectives
2020Co-Authors: Ozcan Altintas, Christopher Barner-kowollikAbstract:The present feature article highlights the preparation of polymeric nanoparticles and initial attempts towards mimicking the structure of natural biomacromolecules by single chain folding of well-defined linear polymers through covalent and Non-Covalent Interactions. Initially, the discussion focuses on the synthesis and characterization of single chain self-folded structures by Non-Covalent Interactions. The second part of the article summarizes the folding of single chain polymers by means of covalent Interactions into nanoparticle systems. The current state of the art in the field of single chain folding indicates that covalent-bond-driven nanoparticle preparation is well advanced, while the first encouraging steps towards building reversible single chain folding systems by the use of mutually orthogonal hydrogen-bonding motifs have been made.
