Thompson, Chase B. published the artcileGradient supramolecular interactions and tunable mechanics in polychaete jaw inspired semi-interpenetrating networks, Recommanded Product: Pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate), the main research area is gradient supramol tunable polychaete jaw semi IPN; zinc benzimidazolylpyridine terminated ethylene butylene copolymer.
Polychaete worms display a remarkable jaw structure, where a gradient in metal-ligand coordination down the length of the jaw results in a shift from hard to soft mechanics. To mimic these gradient structures, a Zn-coordinated supramol. polymer is crosslinked into a covalent matrix to afford supramol. semi-interpenetrating networks (SIPNs). These SIPN materials exhibit improved mechanics with a lower supramol. content (30 wt%), allowing for energy dissipation through cavitation to increase material toughness. The shift in mech. behavior is further attributed to the morphol., where the size of the phase-separated droplets and nature of the continuous phase in these SIPNs contributes to the material mechanics. Furthermore, chem. gradients are applied to these systems through exposure to a competitive ligand, offering control over the localization of supramol. interactions. These materials offer a framework to mediate mechanics while maintaining the ability to program gradient supramol. interactions.
