Abstract

A novel supramolecular graft copolymer (SGP) composed of viologen-containing copolymer (P (DMA-co-diEV)) as the main chain and Np ended PNIPAM (Np-PNIPAm) as the grafts is prepared (DMA: N, N-dimethylacryamide, diEV: ethylviologen dimer, Np: naphthalene, PNIPAM: poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)). The grafting is based on the triple complexation among a host of cucurbit [8] uril (CB [8]) and two guests of diEV and Np, which is ...
