Photoreversible supramolecular polymer formation

摘要

Particle sizes of a supramolecular polymer composed of diarylethene having two quadruple hydrogen bonding moieties were changed photoreversibly.Supramolecular polymers have been attracting much attention as new materials since they exhibit novel characteristics compared with conventional polymers.Supramolecular polymers are composed of small monomers and mostly the monomers are connected by multiple hydrogen bonding.
