On the basis of the simple boronic acid-diol reaction at the moleeular level, this chapter focuses on polymer-polymer interaetions triggered by boronic acid-diol esterification. When boronie aeid-diol reaetions oeeur cooperatively along a polymer chain, the structural changes caused by the complexation can easily amplify over hierarchies of nanometer to mierome-ter scale. Even without any signal such as fluorescence emission, the boronic acid-diol reaction based on precise molecular recognition is detectable as phase transition at the micrometer scale. [Pg.257]
