UV light- and thermo-responsive supramolecular aggregates with tunable morphologies from the inclusion complexation of dendritic/linear polymers.
UV light- and thermo-responsive supramolecular aggregates with tunable morphologies were obtained through the inclusion complexation between a β-CD containing dendritic host polymer and an azobenzene containing linear guest polymer. Morphologies of the aggregates could be adjusted by changing the molar ratio of host/guest polymers in the supramolecular polymers.
