stimuli-responsive or dynamic building blocks, switchable building blocks

Extracted Explainers

What the tool is doing

These building blocks are designed to assemble into complex covalent or noncovalent systems with tailored functions. Once embedded into materials, they can be modulated by external stimuli to control structure and properties.

Source 1DOI

Resources required

The abstract indicates that judicious selection of building blocks, orthogonal functionalities, and innate physical or chemical properties is required. Their function is described in the context of incorporation into assembled materials.

Source 1DOI

What problem it solves

They address the need to build materials whose properties can be intentionally programmed and dynamically controlled after assembly.

Source 1DOI

What it does not solve

The abstract does not specify how to overcome the field's current challenges or limitations, only that such issues remain.

Source 1DOI

Alternatives

The abstract contrasts multiple architecture classes that can host such building blocks, including MOFs, COFs, SURMOFs, MOCs, polymer gels, and POPs.
