A Multiple‐Stimulus‐Responsive Biomimetic Assembly Based on a Polyisocyanopeptide and Conjugated Polymer
2017
: An assembly was fabricated and was revealed to be a multiple-stimulus-responsive biomimetic hybrid polymer architecture. It was constructed by the hydrophobic interactions between a conjugated polyfluorene that contained 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole units (PFBT) and a tri(ethylene glycol)-functionalized polyisocyanopeptide (3OEG-PIC). The introduction of PFBT to the polyisocyanopeptide (PIC) network allowed for the incorporation of responsiveness to multiple stimuli including temperature, CO2 , carbonic anhydrase, and nonlinear mechanics, which mimics natural processes and interactions. Furthermore, the light-harvesting and signal amplification characteristics of PFBT endowed the supramolecular assembly with the essential function of fluorescence monitoring for biological processes.
