Fabrication of "Plug and Play" Channels with Dual Responses by Host-Guest Interactions

Abstract

The "Plug and Play" template can be individually or successively grafted by dual-responsive molecules on the α-CD modified channels by host-guest interactions and can be peeled off by UV irradiation. The artificial channels present six kinds of responses cycling among four states responding to three environment stimuli, as light, pH, and temperature.

Keywords: biomimetic; host-guest interactions; multiresponse channels; “Plug and Play” template.
