A Dual‐Responsive Supramolecular Polymer Gel Formed by Crown Ether Based Molecular Recognition

Abstract

A host–guest recognition motif based on a crown ether moiety was employed to construct a supramolecular polymer gel from a low molecular weight A–B monomer. Reversible thermo- and pH-induced gel–sol transitions of the dual-responsive gel are demonstrated for the controlled release of rhodamine B.
