A polydiacetylene (PDA) fibrous network was incorporated as the cytoskeleton. Self-assembly positioned the diacetylenes (DAs) in PDA for topochemical polymerization, resulting in covalent ...

Self-assembly positioned the diacetylenes (DAs) in PDA for topochemical polymerization, resulting in covalent stabilization of the fibrous structures. Carboxylate end groups enabled PDA ...

Polymer industries depend on the spontaneous polymerization of molecules into chains in response to an appropriate trigger. We have succeeded in inducing and guiding chain polymerization over tiny ...
