摘要

Herein

a case of supramolecular polymerization with a liquid crystalline (LC) block copolymer (BCP) as “monomer” and heavy metallic salts as “initiators” was reported. The lengths of the resultant uniform supramolecular polymer fibrils could be finely tuned by adjusting the type and content of metallic salts.

Abstract

Heavy metallic salts are capable to bind with proteins and cause detrimental fibrilization in living cells. Herein

we report a similar case of supramolecular polymerization and thus fibrilization from a liquid crystalline (LC) block copolymer (BCP) initiated by heavy metallic salts. Analogous to the naturally-occurring process

LC BCP “monomers” could bind with metallic salts to form small aggregates

which functioned as seeds to trigger the subsequent supramolecular polymerization of the rest BCP monomers

to produce highly uniform supramolecular polymers. The lengths of the resultant supramolecular polymer fibrils were linearly proportional to the ratios between the BCP and the metallic salts

and largely influenced by the choice of metallic cations

as well as the counterions. Lastly

this method was used to polymerize two different diblock copolymer “monomers” to produce pentablock supramolecular polymers in a one-pot manner.
