Adhesion behaviour of bulk supramolecular polymers via pillar[5]arene-based molecular recognition

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Dec 9;57(98):13317-13320. doi: 10.1039/d1cc05518f.

Abstract

Pillar[n]arenes were rarely used as the building blocks for supramolecular adhesives. Herein, pillar[5]arene-based supramolecular polymer materials with tough adhesion behaviours on different substrates were prepared, with adhesion strengths up to 4.75 MPa. Strong and long-term dichloromethane-resistant adhesion performances were successfully obtained.
