Memory effect in thermoresponsive proline-based polymers

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The authors report that synthetic polymers consisting of L-proline monomer units exhibit temperature-driven aggregation in water with unprecedented hysteresis. It paves the way to new processes, driven by either temperature or ionic strength changes, such as a simple "with memory" thermometer. In general, NCA polymerization suffers from significant limitations including tedious monomer purification steps, significant sensitivity to moisture, and a need for toxic solvents such as DMF.[19] Progress has however been impressive: efforts have recently focused on promoting the polymerization with more reactive initiators,[20-24] and using aqueous processes including . . .
