PDPAs are a family of helical polymers generally described as very stable and static, where the secondary structure —helical sense and/or elongation— cannot be modulated by external stimuli. Therefore, in this work we have explored different approaches to synthesize the first reported dynamic PDPAs, which has allowed us to create new stimuli-responsive materials. In addition, we have also focused on the elucidation of the secondary structure of those polymers to understand their structure-function relationship. These results can help the future rational design of novel smart materials with specific properties.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Helical PolymersPoly(diphenylacetylene)sSecondary StructureCPL materialsMaterias::Investigación::23 Química::2304 Química macromolecular::230423 Síntesis de macromoléculasMaterias::Investigación::23 Química::2304 Química macromolecular::230416 Análisis de polímerosMaterias::Investigación::23 Química::2306 Química orgánica::230616 Esteroquímica y análisis conformacionaldoctoral thesisopen access
