Description:
Photo-triggered solvent-free metamorphosis of polymeric materials Nature Communications, Published online: 11 September 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00679-1 The design of organic and polymeric soft materials showing isothermal reversible liquid–nonliquid conversion is challenging. Here, the authors show solvent-free repeatable molecular architectural transformation between liquid-star and non-liquid-network polymers by the cleavage and reformation of covalent bonds in the polymer chain.
