Chelation‐Induced Polymer Structural Hierarchy/Complexity in Water
Authors:Jie Han  Kaiyi Zhou  Xuechao Zhu  Qiuping Yu  Yi Ding  Xinhua Lu  Yuanli Cai
Abstract:Understanding nanoscale structural hierarchy/complexity of hydrophilic flexible polymers is imperative because it can be viewed as an analogue to protein‐alike superstructures. However, current understanding is still in infancy. Herein the first demonstration of nanoscale structural hierarchy/complexity via copper chelation–induced self‐assembly (CCISA) is presented. Hierarchically‐ordered colloidal networks and disks can be achieved by deliberate control of spacer length and solution pH. Dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy demonstrate that CCISA underwent supramolecular‐to‐supracolloidal stepwise‐growth mechanism, and underline amazing prospects to the hierarchically‐ordered superstructures of hydrophilic flexible polymers in water.
