Abstract

Thermo-gelation polymers have attracted increasing attention over decades. However, rare facile tuning method of sol-gel transition temperature restricted the wider application. Preceding study indicated that supramolecular interactions demonstrated a powerful means to control the structure and property of polymeric materials. Here we designed an N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) based thermo-sensitive copolymer with naphthyl (Np) on its side chain. Positive-charged side-chain ternary complex was formed with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and methylviologen (MV2+) via CB[8]-enhanced intermolecular charge-transfer (CT) interaction. Introducing the ternary complex CB[8]/MV2+/Np on side-chain altered microstructure of macromolecular chains and led to a strong tendency for thermo gelation. Altering content of CB[8] and MV2+ changed content of the positive-charged side-chain ternary complex and varied gelation temperature. Therefore, introducing supramolecular interaction endowed the hydrogel with tunable gelation property.
