Synergistic covalent-and-supramolecular polymers connected by [2]pseudorotaxane moieties

Abstract

Synergistic covalent-and-supramolecular polymers, in which covalent polymers and supramolecular polymers connect with each other through [2]pseudorotaxane moieties, are designed and synthesized. The unique topological structure effectively enhances the synergistic effect between these two polymers, thereby generating a novel class of mechanically adaptive materials.
