High-performance adhesives are of great interest in view of industrial demand. We herein identify a straightforward synthetic strategy towards universal hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) polymeric adhesives, using a side-chain barbiturate (Ba) and Hamilton wedge (HW) functionalized copolymer. Starting from a rubbery copolymer containing thiolactone derivatives, Ba and HW moieties are tethered as pendant groups via an efficient one-pot two-step amine-thiol-bromo conjugation. Hetero-complementary Ba/HW interactions thus yield H-bonded supramolecular polymeric networks. In addition to an enhanced polymeric network integrity induced by specific Ba/HW association, the presence of individual Ba or HW moieties enables strong binding to a range of substrates, outstanding compared to commercial glues and reported adhesives.

5-(3-Nitro-1-pyrazol-4-yl)tetra-zole, CHNO, was synthesized from cyano-pyrazole the Huisgen reaction. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules, each displaying notable torsion between the pyrazole and tetra-zole systems. N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π-stacking inter-actions create a double-wide mol-ecular chain, while further N-H⋯N and weaker C-H⋯N inter-actions stitch these chains into a supra-molecular hydrogen-bonded framework.

Developing amphibious adhesives that combine high adhesion strength with on-demand erasability in both dry and wet environments remains a significant challenge. In this study, biomass-derived, amphibious, and erasable adhesives are fabricated by grafting 3-aminobenzoic acid and 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid onto epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), yielding ESO-Am adhesives. These adhesives are dynamically cross-linked with boroxines, hydrogen bonds, and hydrogen-bonded hydrophobic nanodomains.

Herein, we have synthesized blue fluorescent carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) a facile hydrothermal method using -aminophenol and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis reveals that the supramolecular interactions between hydrogen-bonded polyamide chains result in a strong blue emission, whereas the orange emission arises from the hydrogen-bond-induced excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) between the CPDs and water. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have confirmed that phenolic hydroxyl groups play a key role in the fluorescence redshift as the synthesis temperature increases.

Periodic tessellations of the 2D plane by nonsymmetric polygons are of particular interest for both the 2D Kelvin problem, which is critical to system linearity and elasticity, and reticular chemistry to diverse the topological varieties. Here, a new liquid crystalline honeycomb phase, representing a monohedral tiling by nonsymmetric hexagonal cells resulting from the soft self-assembly of nine consecutive end-to-end hydrogen-bonded p-terphenyl rods is reported. The new phase structure is characterized by POM, DSC as well as SAXS, with which the electron density map is reconstructed and discussed.

Developing strong, thermally resistant adhesives for load-bearing applications remains challenging. Here we report a class of solution-sheared supramolecular oligomers that exhibit exceptional adhesive strength and toughness across a broad temperature range. These adhesives achieve a debonding work up to 23.
