Abstract
The present invention provides a selective adhesion method and a self-assembly method for macroscale materials based on molecular recognition. One or more host bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more host groups on the side chains, and one or more guest bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more guest groups on the side chains are vibrated in a solvent to selectively form an assembly.
Claims20
An assembly comprising one or more host bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more host groups in the side chains, and one or more guest bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more guest groups in the side chains, wherein the one or more host bodies and the one or more guest bodies are in contact with each other and form the assembly.
A polymer that has one or more host groups and one or more guest groups on the side chains, and that has repeating units represented by the following general formulae (2) and (3)
- wherein CD represents α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, or γ-cyclodextrin, and m is 1 to 200,000,
- wherein A represents O or NH, R represents an optionally-substituted alkyl group, or an optionally-substituted aryl group, and l is 1 to 200,000.
A method for causing one or more host bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more host groups on the side chains, and one or more guest bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more guest groups on the side chains to selectively adhere to each other through contact in an aqueous solvent.
