Dynamic Surface Interactions Enable the Self-Assembly of Perfect Supramolecular Crystals

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Cem Tekin, Vincenzo Caroprese

Supramolecular crystals arise from noncovalent interactions between macromonomers and allow for the engineering of dynamic functional materials. For two-dimensional (2D) crystals, the substrate surface can induce the formation of new polymorphs not availab ...
