Abstract:
Reticulated copolymer host pillar[5]arene cross-linked with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was synthesized for the facile construction of a double network cross-linked elastomer upon noncovalently cross-linking with tetraphenyethylene (TPE)-based tetratopic guests through host-guest interactions. The obtained sample strips had better mechanical properties and luminescence capabilities.
