| The recently proposed Janus chain (JC) model for dendronized polymers with minor modifications is able to describe the self-assembly of achiral molecules into multi.helical complexes, quaternary structures and bundles. The Janus vectors, which add vectorial degrees of freedom to a semiflexible polymer characterizing polymer chains on a classical coarse-grained level, serve to effectively capture three-body effects and induced spontaneous curvature. We report, for the first time, about phase behavior of the JC model and discuss the underlying physical mechanism. In particular, we discuss the effect of solvent quality on the dynamics and microscopic mechanisms of helical network formation. Addon material »»
