Abstract

Back Cover: In article number 2100616 by Félix Freire and co-workers, dynamic helical polymers such as poly(phenylacetylene)s interact and respond to external stimuli such as metal ions, due to the formation of a helical polymer metal complex (HPMC), which can further be transformed into a hybrid material by reducing the metal ion. The resulting nano-composites combine the properties of the metal nanoparticles and the dynamic helical polymers and show stimuli-responsive properties towards different stimuli such as metal ions, temperature or solvents. Moreover, these nanocomposites can be nanostructured into nanospheres that show a dynamic chiral shell and encapsulation properties.
