Supramolecular polymers exhibit fascinating structures, and their properties, and thus
applications, depend both on the strength and dynamics of the non-covalent bonds and on …

After conquering the atomic structure about a century ago, chemists have been largely
interested in understanding the concept of chemical bond and the formation of a molecule …

Various conventional reactions in polymer chemistry have been translated to the
supramolecular domain, yet it has remained challenging to devise living supramolecular …

Cooperative phenomena are common processes involved in the hierarchical self-assembly
