Abstract

The mechanical properties of single cationic dendronized polymers can be strongly modified in aqueous solutions by the ionic strength. Given the possibility to tune the elasticity of dendronized polymers significantly through the solvent properties, such polymers may become ideal building blocks for single‐molecule machines, especially as actuators or motors.
