Successive guest-containing tubular polymer was prepared by the olefin metathesis polymerization of tris(spiroborate) twin bowl after the formation of supramolecular polymer. The cationic iridium(III) complexes were topologically fixed inside the polymer to form a peapod-like structure. The polymer was evaluated by SEC, ICP-AES, and DLS analyses, and string-like structures were found in the AFM observation of the peapod polymer.

Since carbon (C) atom has a variety of chemical bonds hybridization between s and p atomic orbitals, it is well known that there are robust carbon materials. In particular, discovery of C has been an epoch making to cultivate nanocarbon fields. Since then, nanocarbon materials such as nanotube and graphene have been reported.

The immobilization of functional metal complexes onto polymer supports remains one of the most important research areas. In this study, we prepared spiroborate supramolecular and peapod polymers containing a cationic photoluminescent ruthenium(ii) complex. The supramolecular polymer was obtained by mixing spiroborate cyclic trimer bearing homoallyl group and a ruthenium(ii) tris(bipyridyl) complex, and was further converted into the corresponding peapod polymer by olefin metathesis polymerization.

Besides the conventional fiber production methods, microfluidics has emerged as a promising approach for the engineered spinning of fibrous materials and offers excellent potential for fiber manufacturing in a controlled and straightforward manner. This method facilitates low-speed prototype synthesis of fibers for diverse applications while providing superior control over reaction conditions, efficient use of precursor solutions, reagent mixing, and process parameters. This article reviews recent advances in microfluidic technology for the fabrication of fibrous materials with different morphologies and a variety of properties aimed at various applications.

This study presents interesting self-assembly of peapod-like micrometer tubes from a planet-satellite-type supramolecular megamer, which was constructed through the specific host-guest molecular recognition between azobenzene (AZO)-functionalized hyperbranched poly(ethyl-3-oxetanemethanol)-star-poly(ethylene oxide) (HSP-AZO) and β-cyclodextrin(CD)-based hydrophilic hyperbranched polyglycerol (CD-g-HPG). A peapod-like structure with micrometer-sized tube as the pod and vesicles encapsulated inside as the peas was formed through sequential vesicle entosis, linear association, and fusion processes. Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations support the structural possibility of the supramolecular peapod formation and its mechanism.
