Paper of the week: Binding and supramolecular organization of homo- and heterotelechelic oligomers in solutions

Supramolecular chemistry, defined as the chemistry of noncovalent bonds (such as hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, hydrophobic interactions, etc.), is a promising tool to create functional materials. Indeed, noncovalent bonds introduce reversibility and stimuli-responsiveness to materials. Therefore, compared to high-molecular-weight covalent polymers, processing and recycling of supramolecular polymers could be easier. Furthermore, incorporating noncovalent bonds into […]
