Supramolecular polymers are a kind of polymers whose monomeric units hold together via highly directional and reversible non-covalent interactions. Unlike conventional bonded polymers, supramolecular polymers engage in a variety of non-covalent interactions that define their properties. These interactions include hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, metal coordination, and host–guest interaction. Owing to the presence of these reversible noncovalent interactions, supramolecular polymers exhibit dynamic properties such as self-healing.
