Abstract

Dynamic materials [1] featuring modular components, nanoscale dimensions, and controlled responsiveness to external stimuli are among the most attractive targets in contemporary materials science. Since supramolecular polymers [2] fulfill nicely all these conditions, they are in a prominent position in the list of effective dynamic materials. While the self-assembly of supramolecular polymers driven by hydrogen bonding [3] and metal coordination [4] ...
