Photoresponsive Hybrid Raspberry-Like Colloids Based on Cucurbit[8]uril Host-Guest Interactions

摘要

Hybrid raspberry-like colloids (HRCs) were prepared by employing cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) as a supramolec-ular linker to assemble functional polymeric nanoparticles onto a silica core. The formed HRCs are photoresponsive and can be reversibly disassembled upon light irradiation. This facile supramolecular approach provides a platform for the synthesis of colloids with sophisticated structures and properties.
