Researchers created dynamic cationic polymers resembling nucleic acids. These polymers respond to electrostatic interactions by changing their size, demonstrating potential for novel biomaterials.

Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:
