Nanotechnology - Supramolecular
Studies from University of Cambridge further understanding of nanotechnology - supramolecular
Published in Blood Weekly, November 18th, 2010
"The ability to finely tune the solution viscosity of an aqueous system is critical in many applications ranging from large-scale fluid-based industrial processes to free-standing hydrogels important in regenerative medicine, controlled drug delivery, and 'green' self-healing materials. Herein we demonstrate the use of the macrocyclic host molecule cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) to facilitate reversible cross-linking of multivalent copolymers with high binding constants (K-a > 10(11)-10(12) M-2) leading to a supramolecular hydrogel," researchers in Cambridge, the United Kingdom report.
"Multivalent copolymers were prepared by free radical polymerization techniques and...
