Functional Materials Based on Self-Assembly of Polymeric Supramolecules

Supramolecules can spontaneously assemble or self-organize to form larger structures.A general framework for forming complex functional materials emerges.The physical bonds within the supramolecules allow controlled cleavage of selected constituents.To achieve enhanced functionalities, the principal periodicity is at -10 to 2000 .However, self-organization renders only the local structures.This allows for materials design beyond the traditional scope of biochemical applications.Its optical properties can be tuned based on camphor sulphonic acid.Polymeric- полимер, полимерный.We illustrate the concept using a comb-shaped architecture.To achieve sufficient bonding, synergism of several physical interactions is often required.
