Interactions between solvents and solutes are a cornerstone of physical organic chemistry and have been a continued focus of investigations over the last century…

Every detail counts in controlling the molecular structure of polymers, is one of the key lessons learned from Ken Wagener. We used this lesson to design, synthesize and characterize a series of discrete oligodimethylsiloxanes of different lengths and modified them to block co-oligomers (BCOs)…

Controlling the supramolecular interactions between molecular fragments made it easier to design materials with unconventional responsive behavior. A large variety of external stimuli is to our disposal leading to the fabrication of novel materials…

The striking resemblance between biological one-dimensional structures and supramolecular polymers assembled in water inspired many chemists to study these artificial mimics for possible biomedical applications…

Although the word polymer was already coined by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1833, it was through the pioneering work of Hermann Staudinger in 1920, that it was recognized that the macroscopic properties of polymers both in solution and solid state are the result of the macromolecular nature of the mole…

The striking resemblance between biological one-dimensional structures and supramolecular polymers assembled in water inspired Sam Stupp and many other chemists to study these artificial mimics for possible biomedical applications…

Applying multivalent systems at an interface allows precise control over the structure, density, and environment of the receptors present on the surface…
