Abstract
En 中文
Common adhesives stick to a wide range of materials immediately after they are applied to the surfaces. To prevent indiscriminate sticking, smart adhesive materials that adhere to a specific target surface only under particular conditions are desired. Here we report a polymer hydrogel modified with both beta-cyclodextrin (beta CD) and 2,20-bipyridyl (bpy) moieties (beta CD-bpy gel) as a functional adhesive material responding to metal ions as chemical stimuli. The adhesive property of beta CD-bpy gel based on interfacial molecular recognition is expressed by complexation of metal ions to bpy that controlled dissociation of supramolecular cross-linking of beta CD-bpy. Moreover, adhesion of beta CD-bpy gel exhibits selectivity on the kinds of metal ions, depending on the efficiency of metal-bpy complexes in cross-linking. Transduction of two independent chemical signals (metal ions and host-guest interactions) is achieved in this adhesion system, which leads to the development of highly orthogonal macroscopic joining of multiple objects.
