Abstract
The development of biobased polymeric materials is expected to reduce dependence on nonrenewable resources. However, the controlled regulation of performance via host–guest multilevel structures remains a great challenge. To tackle this challenge, host–guest block copolymers (P(CD)2-b-P(VMA)x, x = 7, 10, 72, 159) were fabricated by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) block copolymerization using β-cyclodextrin-derived monomer and biomass-derived vanillin monomer as the host–guest building blocks. In parallel, P(CD)2-b-P(VMA)x self-assembled in situ into honeycomb nanoporous channel materials via two-dimensional (2D) mechanical interlocking and three-dimensional (3D) physical cross-linking. Notably, high cross-linking density (x = 7, 10) showed 89.0% against both E. coli and S. aureus and complete hydrolysis of the ester bonds of host–guest building blocks on the copolymer chain, while low cross-linking density (x = 72, 159) had no antibacterial activity and was partially hydrolyzed. Overall, this strategy showcases an approach for regulating the multilevel structures, providing an eco-friendly material with adjustable properties.
期刊介绍:
ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science.
With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
