摘要

Abstract

Aggregate engineering of non-covalent networks endows supramolecular polymers with thermo-mechanical versatility

stimuli-responsive phase transitions and intrinsic damage-healing capabilities. However

most non-covalent networks are vulnerable at elevated temperatures

which suppresses the robustness of supramolecular polymers. Herein

ureidocytosine (UCy) motifs

which are capable of forming extensive non-covalent networks and thus robust molecular aggregates

via

multivalent hydrogen bonds and aromatic stackings

are proposed to enable precise programming of the thermo-mechanical versatility. Molecular simulations reveal that the enthalpic contributions from the UCy aggregates play dominant roles to compensate the entropic loss from the redistributions of polymeric spacers and stabilize the non-covalent networks over wide temperature windows. Such aggregate-level strategy offers prospects for applications which require thermo-mechanical versatility of supramolecular polymers

such as 3D printing

microfabrication and damage-healing coating.
