摘要
This study presents interesting self-assembly of peapod-like micrometer tubes from a planet-satellite-type supramolecular megamer, which was constructed through the specific host-guest molecular recognition between azobenzene (AZO)-functionalized hyperbranched poly(ethyl-3-oxetanemethanol)-star-poly(ethylene oxide) (HSP-AZO) and beta-cyclodextrin(CD)-based hydrophilic hyperbranched polyglycerol (CD-g-HPG). A peapod-like structure with micrometer-sized tube as the pod and vesicles encapsulated inside as the peas was formed through sequential vesicle entosis, linear association, and fusion processes. Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations support the structural possibility of the supramolecular peapod formation and its mechanism. UV light irradiation could lead to the disassembly of the peapod-like structure. This study expands the family of supramolecular polymers and opens a new avenue to develop bioinspired complex hierarchical nanoarchitectures at the microscopic level.
