Supramolecular polymers are a unique class of materials composed of monomeric units held together by reversible and highly directional secondary interactions. Over the past decade, the field of supramolecular polymers has experienced remarkable growth, driven by novel non-covalent forces and innovative building blocks. These advancements have provided deeper thermodynamic and kinetic insights into the processes of non-covalent supramolecular polymerization. The potential applications of supramolecular polymers in materials science and biomedicine are increasingly recognized and valued.

This book, edited by leading experts in the field, begins with a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art developments in supramolecular polymer chemistry. It then shifts focus to explore the diverse applications of supramolecular polymers in various materials, including:

- Self-healing materials

- Biomedicine

- Optoelectronics

As such, this book provides an invaluable resource for researchers in chemistry, materials science, and related fields, offering a deep understanding of supramolecular polymers and their potential applications. By highlighting the latest research findings, this book serves as an important reference for those seeking to explore the exciting opportunities in this rapidly expanding field.
