Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Field: Macromolecular chemistry, polymers (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  B | IPC B  C

Claim 9:
10. An article, comprising:
a first component comprising a first particle, first polymers, and first intermolecular bonding groups, wherein each first polymer is associated with the first particle and at least one first intermolecular bonding group;
a second component comprising a second particle, second polymers, and second intermolecular bonding groups, wherein each second polymer is associated with the second particle and at least one second intermolecular bonding group; and
a solvent,
wherein at least a portion of the first intermolecular bonding groups are bonded to at least a portion of the second intermolecular bonding groups, and wherein at least one of the first intermolecular bonding groups does not comprise a moiety that is the same as a repeat unit or precursor thereof in the first polymers, and
wherein a bond strength between the solvent and the first intermolecular bonding groups is less than a bond strength between at least the portion of the first intermolecular bonding groups and at least the portion of the second intermolecular groups.
