Homopolymer self-assembly of poly(propylene sulfone) hydrogels via dynamic noncovalent sulfone–sulfone bonding

Natural biomolecules such as peptides and DNA can dynamically self-organize into diverse hierarchical structures. Here the authors report experiments and simulations on the dynamic network self-assembly and subsequent collapse of the synthetic homopolymer poly(propylene sulfone).
