Abstract:
A pseudo-polycation was prepared based on the supramolecular cucurbit[8]uril ternary complex. It was then layer-by-layer assembled with poly(acrylic acid) to fabricate a stimuli-responsive film, which exhibited disassembly properties in response to stimuli, providing a supramolecular route for the fabrication of free-standing thin films.
