The creation of novel crown ether-paraquat polypseudorotaxane networks, constructed by bisparaquat monomers threading into the cavity of the crown ether units of linear supramolecular polymers that are formed based on the quadruple hydrogen bonded unit ureidopyrimidinone (Upy) in the concentrated solution, is described.

Controlling the distribution of rings on polymer axles, such as α-cyclodextrin (αCD) on polyethylene glycol (PEG), is paramount in imparting robust mechanical properties to slide-ring gels and polyrotaxane-based networks. Previous experiments demonstrated that the functionalization of polymer ends could modulate the coverage of αCDs on PEG. To explore the design rule, we propose a multi-scale framework for predicting αCD assembly on bare and functionalized PEG.

Water/light regulated room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of polypseudorotaxane supramolecular gel is constructed by threading the poly(ethylene glycol)--poly(propylene glycol)--poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PPG-PEG) chain with the bromoaromatic aldehyde into mono-(6-ethylenediamine-6-deoxygenated)-β-cyclodextrin (ECD) cavities and further assembling with negatively charged Laponite XLG (CNS) and diarylethene derivative (DAE) through electrostatic interaction. This hydrogel exhibits significant blue fluorescence emission; instead, after lyophilization to xerogel, the system exhibits both blue fluorescence and yellow RTP based on the rigid network structure of the xerogel, which restricts the vibration of the phosphor and suppresses the nonradiative relaxation process. Interestingly, the addition of excess ECDs to the gel system can enhance the RTP emission.

Flexible zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) with high capacity and long cycle stability are essential for wearable electronic devices. Hydrogel electrolytes have been developed to provide ion-transfer channels while maintaining the integrity of ZIBs under mechanical strain. However, hydrogel matrices are typically swollen with aqueous salt solutions to increase ionic conductivity, which can hinder intimate contact with electrodes and reduce mechanical properties.

Plants produce a wide range of bioactive phytochemicals, such as antioxidants and vitamins, which play crucial roles in aging prevention, inflammation reduction, and reducing the risk of cancer. Selectively harvesting these phytochemicals, such as lycopene, from tomatoes through the adsorption method is cost-effective and energy efficient. In this work, a templated synthesis of 3D-printed crosslinked cyclodextrin polymers featuring nanotubular structures for highly selective lycopene harvesting is reported.

Polypseudorotaxane structure and polydopamine bond-based crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels including donepezil-loaded microspheres were developed for subcutaneous injection. Both dopamine and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were covalently bonded to the HA polymer for catechol polymerization and inclusion complexation with alpha-cyclodextrin (α-CD), respectively. A PEG chain of HA-dopamine-PEG (HD-PEG) conjugate was threaded with α-CD to make a polypseudorotaxane structure and its pH was adjusted to 8.
