Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>Polymer conformations:</jats:bold> The picture shows instantaneous conformations of product molecules produced in a catalytic reaction at the head of a polymer chain. The extended (left) and collapsed (right) polymers correspond to chains in good and poor solvent conditions, respectively. The product molecule concentration gradient leads to a directed force on the polymer, so that it functions as a self‐propelled nanomotor.<jats:boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor"><jats:graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" mimetype="image/gif" position="anchor" specific-use="enlarged-web-image" xlink:href="graphic/mcontent.gif"><jats:alt-text>magnified image</jats:alt-text></jats:graphic></jats:boxed-text></jats:p>
