Nucleobase-functionalized supramolecular polymer films with tailorable properties and tunable biodegradation rates

Abstract

Biodegradable nucleobase-functionalized supramolecular polymers have been successfully developed and undergo effective spontaneous assembly into a non-covalently cross-linked three-dimensional network structure with excellent film-forming ability, tuned physical properties and biodegradation rates, making them particularly attractive for use as biopolymer-based scaffolds and regenerative medicine applications.
