MONOMERS CAPABLE OF FORMING FOUR HYDROGEN BRIDGES AND SUPRAMOLECULAR POLYMERS FORMED BY COPOLYMERIZATION OF THESE MONOMERS WITH REGULAR MONOMERS

摘要

The invention relates to the synthesis of polymers containing self-complementary quadruple hydrogen groups by copolymerizing monomers containing a quadruple hydrogen bonding group with one or more monomers of choice. The resulting polymers show unique new characteristics due to the presence of additional physical interactions between the polymer chains that are based on multiple hydrogen bonding interactions (supramolecular interactions).
