Polymers Connected with Multiple Hydrogen Bonds

Polymers Connected with Multiple Hydrogen Bonds [Pg.39]

Multiple hydrogen bonds are an extension of the concept to introduce more connecting sites within a hydrogen-bonding system. Several reasons have driven the quest for these higher-order systems for the construction of new [Pg.39]

Apart from those multiple hydrogen-bonding systems described, many others have been investigated, often in relation to association into columns, discs and other networks. Loontjens et al. [172] described networks based on [Pg.46]

Some recent examples including uses as super hydrophobic surfaces [142], medical composites of spun fibers, generating scaffolds for cell attachment [138], thermoplastic elastomers [139], as a supramolecular electrolyte in a dye-sensitized solar cell [190], as a method to align polymer chains [191], or as supramolecular polymer composites [192] have been discussed previously. Still there is ample space to be explored and there definitely will be many more patents and applications in this field. [Pg.51]
