Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Growth of rigid rods occurs via supramolecular assembly of a nonconjugated π‐donor π‐acceptor monomer and is triggered by a NaCl gradient. The mechanical stiffness of this material is controlled by the local salt concentration and is ion specific. The continuous and well‐controlled growth process is exploited to power the directional transport of sub‐millimeter polymer particles.
