Supramolecular materials from benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide-based nanorods

Telechelic polymers end-capped or copolymerized with the benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) moiety lead to supramolecular materials. The intrinsic phase segregation of BTA nanorods with an amorphous polymer such as poly(ethylene butylene) results in thermoplastic elastomeric behavior.
