Preparation and characterization of the supramolecular SCNGs at high concentrations. a, b The preparation scheme of the c unfoldable dynamic ADA@CD-SCNGs, d unfolding process of the ADA@CD-SCNGs, e non-unfoldable SCNGs and f non-foldable linear polymer. g GPC traces for the ADA@CD crosslinked unfoldable ADA@CD-SCNGs (green line) and the corresponding unfolded species (orange line) after treating the SCNGs with free competitive ADA. The unfolding of the ADA@CD-SCNGs led to a slight increase in the apparent molecular weight. h DLS analysis of the folded (green line) and unfolded ADA@CD-SCNGs (orange line). i Atomic force microscopy (AFM) height analysis of two-folded ADA@CD-SCNG particles A and B shown in panel j. j AFM height image of the ADA@CD-SCNGs and l the unfolded species. k 3D modelling image of the ADA@CD-SCNGs and m the unfolded species on silica. The length scale bars of j and l are 300.0 nm, of k and m are 100.0 nm. The height colour scale of j and k is from 0 to 10 nm by height, the colour scale of l and m is from 0 to 8.1 nm by height
