Metastable Supramolecular Polymer Nanoparticles via Intramolecular Collapse of Single Polymer Chains
Abstract
We present an elegant approach for fabricating polymeric nanoparticles via the reversible noncovalent intramolecular cross-linking of single polymer chains. By protecting the well-studied 2-ureido-pyrimidinone moiety with an o-nitrobenzyl group, we have introduced a latent quadruple hydrogen bonding motif. Incorporating this group into linear poly(norbornenes) creates a class of supramolecular materials that can be readily dissolved and subsequently cross-linked upon irradiation with UV light, eliminating the need for selective solvent techniques. This is a facile method for producing well-defined particles with narrow polydispersity as confirmed by atomic force microscopy. By virtue of the nature of the intramolecular cross-linking (supramolecular interactions of pendant groups), these metastable nanoparticles are akin to folded biomacromolecules, representing the first step in linking synthetic polymers and self-folded biopolymers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
