Abstract

Convenient chemical modification of biomacromolecules to create novel biocompatible functional materials satisfies the current requirements of sustainable chemistry. Dendronization of chitosan with dendritic oligoethylene glycols (OEGs) paves a strategy for the preparation of functional dendronized chitosans (DCSs) with unprecedent thermoresponsive behavior, which inherit biological features from polysaccharides and the topological features from dendritic OEGs. In addition, densely packed dendritic OEG chains around the backbone provide efficient cooperative interactions and form an intriguing confined microenvironment based on the degradable biopolymers. In this perspective, we describe the principle for the preparation of the thermoresponsive DCSs, and focus on the molecular envelop effect from the hydrophobic microconfinement to the encapsulated guest molecules or moieties. Particular attention is put on their capacity to regulate behavior and the functions of the encapsulated guests through thermally-mediated dehydration and collapse of the densely packed dendritic OEGs. We believe that the methodology described here may provide prospects for the fabrication of functional materials from biomacromolecules, especially when used as environmentally friendly nanomaterials or in accurate diagnosis and therapy.
