Overview
Supramolecular polymers are a type of polymer that are composed of many individual components (molecules) held together by non-covalent interactions. These materials have unique properties, such as self-assembly and conformational flexibility, which make them attractive for a variety of applications. For example, they may be used as drug carriers, sensors, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. Additionally, they are finding use in molecular electronics, photonics, and self-healing materials. The strong, non-covalent interactions that hold these polymers together give them the potential to be more stable than traditional polymers, making them attractive for numerous industrial and biomedical applications.
