Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Polymers via Hydrogen Bonds

3 Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Polymers via Hydrogen Bonds [Pg.78]

Despite the fact that the structuring of supramolecular polymers is highly diverse with respect to the formed structures, three basic cases can be discriminated (a) microphase separation in supramolecular polymers (b) ordering on surfaces - that is, under confinement on two dimensions (c) behavior of small molecules and their ordering effect into [Pg.78]

1 Microphase-Separated H-Bonded Polymers Towards Pseudoblock Copolymers [Pg.79]

Microphase separation can only take place in polymeric structures, most of all in di-, tri- and multiblock copolymers - thus requiring polymeric structures already. In addition, graft-type polymers can show microphase separation. The hydrogen bond in supramolecular polymers introduces an additional attractive force acting together with the Flory-Huggins parameters in such immiscible polymeric systems. Thus, for diblock copolymers the structure and behavior [Pg.79]
