Photo-Healable Metallosupramolecular Polymers

Abstract

This research project is focused on the development and investigation of a class of metallo-supramolecular polymers, which exhibit photo-induced healing capabilities. In this final report we outline the use of cellulose nanocrystals embedded within the metallosupramolecular polymer to access more mechanically robust photohealable films. We also outline initial investigations into a new class of Fe(II)-based metallosupramolecular polymers which can be healed at lower light intensities allowing access to a wider variety of photo-healable coatings.
