Dynamically tuning transient silicone polymer networks with hydrogen bonding
Abstract
Supramolecular polymers are composed of non-covalently connected chains and characterized by high chain dynamics. The viscoelastic behavior of supramolecular telechelic sugar-siloxanes - ranging from solids to viscous fluids able to form transient polymer networks - is readily tuned by the fraction of internal HO groups that can intermolecularly form hydrogen bonds.
