Supramolecular temperature responsive assembly of polydopamine reduced graphene oxide
Yiwen Chen, Thomas Szkopek, Marta Cerruti
Abstract
, that temperature response can be introduced in nanomaterials by combining non-responsive components that function cooperatively in supramolecules, whose interactions with solvents can be modulated by temperature changes, mimicking what happens in macromolecular systems such as PNIPAM. STRAN could be applied to nanomaterials beyond GO to develop responsive systems whose self-assembly in suspension and architectural features realized upon drying can be controlled by temperature.
