Consequences of hidden kinetic pathways on supramolecular polymerization
Jonas Matern, Kalathil K. Kartha, Luis Sánchez, Gustavo Fernández
Abstract
. Furthermore, the fast kinetics of cluster formation sequester monomers from the equilibria in solution and prevents the system from relaxing into the thermodynamic minimum, thus highlighting the key implications of hidden pathways in governing supramolecular polymerization processes.
