Abstract
By introducing strong directed hydrogen bonds to an amphiphilic polymer, we demonstrate that phase transitions from spherical to cylindrical morphologies in aqueous solutions can significantly be shifted to favor the assembly of supramolecular polymer bottlebrushes. In water, a forced self-assembly of polymers into cylindrical structures remains a challenge as the often required hydrophobic shielding induces forces, which tend to minimize the surface area. The herein presented novel benzene trisureas can overcome these limitations due to strong hydrogen bonds and alter the morphology to cylinders despite an unfavorable packing parameter, which dominated the previously reported trisamide analogues. The systematic variation of composition and architecture revealed that a transition to spherical morphologies still occurs, but the phase-transition boundaries appear to be shifted to tolerate larger hydrophilic polymer chains. The strength of the directing interactions appears to be decisive for the shift, though we additionally observed that any restrictions of lateral aggregation can diminish the effect of the directing hydrogen bonds. Overall, the straightforward synthesis and versatile design render the presented systems an interesting blueprint for the development of more advanced supramolecular polymer bottlebrushes and multifunctional nanostructures.
