“…Supramolecular polymers are endowed with unique properties, such as responsiveness and self-healing, − due to the inherent dynamic nature of the noncovalent interactions they are based on, leading to numerous potential applications as biomedical materials, adhesives, inks, or personal care products. − Noncovalent interactions, including hydrogen-bonding, − π-stacking, solvophobicity, and van der Waals, are responsible for their self-assembly into hierarchical architectures through stacking or molecular recognition of polymeric precursors. − Over the past years, the growing number of synthesized monomers has contributed significantly to the development of general design rules to facilitate monomer self-assembly in organic solvents and water. However, to further guide their rational design, it is necessary to understand factors that influence the strengths of competing noncovalent interactions either within a monomer or between them.…”
