Estimating the term…
The invention relates to the synthesis of polymers containing self-complementary quadruple hydrogen groups by copolymerizing monomers containing a quadruple hydrogen bonding group with one or more monomers of choice. The resulting polymers show unique new characteristics due to the presence of additional physical interactions between the polymer chains that are based on multiple hydrogen bonding interactions (supramolecular interactions).
A monomer comprising (a) a monomeric unit having a group that can be polymerized, a linking moiety (b) and a structural element (c) capable of forming at least four hydrogen bridges, wherein the monomer has the general structure (a)-(b)-(c), and wherein the linking moiety (b) forms a chemical bond with the structural element (c), which bond is not a carbon—carbon single bond.
