A self-repairing, supramolecular polymer system: healability as a consequence of donor–acceptor
– stacking interactionsStefano Burattini, Howard M. Colquhoun, Justin D. Fox, Donia Friedmann, Barnaby W. Greenland, Peter J. F. Harris, Wayne Hayes, Michael E. Mackay and Stuart J. Rowan
A novel supramolecular polymer system, in which the terminal pyrenyl groups of a polyamide intercalate into the chain-folds of a polyimide via electronically-complementary
– stacking, shows both enhanced mechanical properties relative to those of its individual components and facile healing characteristics as a result of the thermoreversibility of non-covalent interactions.
