Transient Supramolecular Assembly by Programmable pH Cycles

09 October 2019, Version 1
Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Transient self-assembly is a necessary step towards the development of life-like materials. Our approach allows to program pH-driven supramolecular assembly in the time domain with tailorable lag- and life-times, overcoming the limitations of previously described approaches and setting a new standard for active materials design.
