Photoresponsive Pseudopolyrotaxane Hydrogels Based on Competition of Host–Guest Interactions

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Competitive advantage: The reversible assembly and disassembly of a polyethylene glycol (PEG)/α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) pseudopolyrotaxane (PPR) hydrogel is achieved (see picture). In a ternary system with a photoresponsive azobenzene compound, alternating UV and visible irradiation causes reversible sol–gel transitions. Thus the widely studied PEG/α-CD PPR hydrogel is proved to be “active” in supramolecular chemistry.
