Molecular basis of cooperativity in pH-triggered supramolecular self-assembly

Understanding stimuli responsiveness on a molecular level can help with the rational design of nanomaterials with sharp responses. Here, Gao and co-workers have shown the molecular pathway of the supramolecular self-assembly of a series of ultra-pH sensitive block copolymers.
