Autonomously isolated pseudo-polyrotaxane nanosheets fabricated via hierarchically ordered supramolecular self-assembly

Abstract

We succeeded in obtaining autonomously isolated nanosheets consisting of pseudo-polyrotaxane (PPR) fabricated via hierarchically ordered supramolecular self-assembly of β-cyclodextrin and a poloxamer by introducing charged groups to the axis ends of the poloxamer. The isolated PPR nanosheets exhibited a tunable structural coloration and were aligned using a strong magnetic field.
