Voltage-responsive single-chain polymer nanoparticles via host–guest interaction†
Abstract
Poly(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide) with pendant β-cyclodextrin was synthesized and intramolecularly crosslinked with bridged bis(ferrocene). This supramolecular nanoparticle can be changed reversibly between a coil and a nanoparticle upon external voltage stimuli.
