Plastics have numerous properties that render them superior to other materials in many
applications. Since the past 50 years, the use of plastics has dramatically increased in our …

Supramolecular polymer materials are polymeric structures that are physically crosslinked
by non-covalent interactions such as ionic interactions, host-guest complexation and …

The ability to change the shape of 3D printed objects as a function of time is known as 4D
printing. Shape memory polymers with their shape-changing behavior are emerging as …

Cartilage cannot self-repair and thus regeneration is a promising approach to its repair.
Here we developed new electrospun nanofibers, made of poly (ε-caprolactone) …

Biopolymer-based injectable hydrogels provide great potential as bone tissue engineering
(BTE) scaffolds on account of biocompatibility, and pore interconnectivity that enables …

Alternating supramolecular multiblock copolymers with hard poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and soft
poly (ethylene-co-butylene)(PEB) segments were prepared by terminal functionalization of …

Telechelic and 3-arm star-shaped poly (l-lactic acid) s (PLLAs) and poly (d-lactic acid) s
(PDLAs) end-functionalized by 2-ureido-4 [1 H]-pyrimidione (UPy) self-complementary …

With the continuous increase of global plastics production, there is a demand to develop
energy efficient processes to transform mixed plastic wastes into new products with …

The contribution of supramolecular chemistry to polymer science opens new perspectives
for the design of polymer materials exhibiting valuable properties and easier processability …

A modular approach for the design of two-component supramolecular polymer (SMP)
networks is reported. A series of materials was prepared by blending two (macro) monomers …
