Supramolecular polymer networks are materials crosslinked by reversible supramolecular
interactions, such as hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions. Supramolecular …

Supramolecular polymer networks are three-dimensional structures of crosslinked
macromolecules connected by transient, non-covalent bonds; they are a fascinating class of …

When aqueous solutions of polycations and polyanions are mixed, polyelectrolyte
complexes form. These are usually insoluble in water, so that they separate out as a new …

Investigations of the rheological properties of associative polymer solutions that appeared
over the last 5years are reviewed. Attention is focused on synthetic polymers containing …

This research presents the formation of anisotropic, and partly fibrous, semi-solid structures
with Soy Protein Concentrate (SPC) using the concept of shear-induced structuring. The …

Injectable hydrogels show substantial promise for use in minimally invasive tissue
engineering and drug delivery procedures. A new injectable hydrogel material, developed …

Multiresponsive materials are interesting for a wide range of applications, as their properties
can be tuned with external triggers. A promising class of responsive materials is that of …

We studied shear-induced fracture and self-healing of well-defined transient polymer
networks formed by telechelic polypeptides, with nodes formed by collagen-like triple …

Phase separation phenomena have been studied widely in the field of polymer science, and
were recently also reported for dynamic polymer networks (DPNs). The mechanisms of …

Nonequilibrium computer simulations have been applied to study the shear and extensional
flow behavior of supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) formed by unentangled and …
