The new foldamer-based material can change its physical state in response to different triggers, while advanced NMR techniques have allowed scientists to examine its molecular structure in unprecedented detail. Scientists at the University of Birmingham have developed a new smart material that can repeatedly switch between a solid-like gel and a flowing, liquid-like state using different external triggers. The breakthrough could open new possibilities in drug delivery, sensing, catalysis, and advanced materials.The research, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, marks the development of the first multi-responsive gel built from synthetic molecules known as foldamers.
