Controlled folding of a novel electroactive polyolefin via multiple sequential orthogonal intra-chain interactions.

We report here the synthesis of a novel electroactive polyolefin and demonstrate through a combination of SEC-MALS and DLS how this type of functional polymer can be folded in a controlled fashion from an expanded coil to a tightly wound globule using sequentially activated noncovalent and covalent intra-chain interactions.
