We have developed a hierarchical process that combines linear triblock copolymers into concentric globular subunits through strong chemical bonds and is followed by their supramolecular assembly via weak noncovalent interactions to afford one-dimensionally assembled, dynamic cylindrical nanostructures. The molecular brush architecture forces triblock copolymers to adopt intramolecular interactions within confined frameworks and then drives their intermolecular interactions in the mixtures of org ...[more]
