The present disclosure provides (block co-polymer)-(metal organic framework) conjugates (BCPMOFs), such as (block co-polymer)-(metal organic nanostructure) conjugates (BCPMONs), and thermoplastic elastomers, gels, and compositions thereof. Exemplary BCPMONs include (block co-polymer)-(metal organic cage) conjugates (BCPMOCs), (block co-polymer)-(metal organic paddlewheel) conjugates, and (block co-polymer)-(metal organic square) conjugates, such as BCPMONs of Formula (A), (B), or (C). Also described herein are macromonomers for preparing the BCPMONs; thermoplastic elastomers, gels, and compositions involving the BCPMONs; methods of preparing the BCPMONs, thermoplastic elastomers, gels, and compositions; and methods of using the BCPMONs, thermoplastic elastomers, gels, and compositions. |
