Supramolecular structures from rod-coil block copolymers

The supramolecular architectures of rodlike polymers and their low molar mass were studied. The amphiphilic feature allowed rod-coil copolymers to construct low dimensional ionic conductive nanomaterials and ordered nanocomposite materials. The results showed that the rod-coil copolymers and their low molar mass homologues self-assemble into a variety of supramolecular structures through the combination of shape complimentarity and micorphase separation of rod and coil segments.
