Explore modern characterization methods and new applications in this modern overview of supramolecular polymer chemistry  Supramolecular Polymers and Assemblies: From Synthesis to Properties and Applications Characterization remains a primary focus of the book throughout, making it extremely useful for practitioners in the field. Emphasis is also placed on metallo-supramolecular polymers and materials which have found applications in areas like smart or intelligent materials and systems with special photochemical and photophysical properties, like LEDs and solar cells. Applications, including self-healing materials, opto-electronics, sensing, and catalysis are all discussed as well. 
The book details many of the exciting developments in the field of supramolecular chemistry that have occurred since the 1987 Nobel Prize was awarded to pioneers in this rapidly developing field. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: 
A thorough introduction to supramolecular assemblies based on ionic interactions Explorations of supramolecular polymers based on hydrogen-bonding interactions, metal-to-ligand interactions, p-Electronic interactions, crown-ether recognition, cucurbiturils, and host-guest chemistry of calixarenes A discussion of cyclodextrins in the field of supramolecular polymers Examinations of supramolecular polymers based on the host-guest chemistry of pillarenes, and those formed by orthogonal non-covalent interactions A treatment of the characterization of supramolecular polymers 
will earn a place in the libraries of researchers and practitioners of the material science, as well as polymer chemists seeding a one-stop reference for supramolecular polymers.

In general, the formation of polymers, via a polycondensation or polyaddition, represents a kinetically controlled process [26]: the potential barrier for the forward reaction (i.e. the polymerization) is much lower than for the backward reaction (i.e. depolymerization). As a consequence, neither changes in concentration (i.e. dilution) nor temperature (i.e. heating) will affect the molar mass or the degree of conversion. In supramolecular polymerizations, the situation is much more complicated – due to the (partially) reversible character, depolymerization must be considered. Thus, heating or dilution of a kinetically unstable supramolecular polymer will have a tremendous effect with respect to the molar mass – unlike for a common macromolecule, a decrease of M nwill be the result. According to Carothers' equation ( Eq. (1.1)), the molar mass of polymers, which have been prepared by either a polyaddition or a polycondensation, can be correlated to the monomer conversion. However, for supramolecular polymers, featuring a certain degree of reversibility of the non‐covalent interactions, the molar mass will mainly depend on the strength of these interactions, i.e. their association constants ( K avalues). As depicted in Figure 1.3, both high K avalues and high monomer concentrations are required to obtain the supramolecular polymers with high DPs. Besides these considerations, other parameters, such as concentration, temperature, and the particular reaction conditions (i.e. presence of additives or reagents, etc.), will also have an impact on the entire assembly process.

This assumption, however, represents only a simplification of the actual mechanism of a supramolecular polymerization – even when only considering the thermodynamic equilibrium state, where assemblies are formed that, ideally, retain their polymeric structure over time. In this respect, three main mechanisms can be listed ( Figure 1.4) [26]:

1 The isodesmic supramolecular polymerization (IDP) is comparable to the step‐growth polymerization of esters (i.e. showing a broad dispersity, Đ) and the DP is strongly dependent on the Ka value of underlying supramolecular interaction.

2 The ring‐chain‐mediated supramolecular polymerization features an equilibrium between supramolecular cyclic species and linear polymer chains.

3 The cooperative supramolecular polymerization shows a nonlinear growth of the polymer chains and is typically nucleated.

Going beyond the “traditional” equilibrium state, supramolecular polymerizations leading to assemblies in either dissipative nonequilibrium or even non‐dissipative nonequilibrium states (i.e. kinetically trapped or metastable ones) have recently attracted substantial interest. In these cases, the progress of the polymerization is heavily dependent on the applied preparative method (the so‐called pathway selection), and an in‐depth knowledge of the kinetics is required. In particular, the association rates for each single step become more important. These issues have recently been discussed by Sorrenti et al. in a tutorial review [40].

1.3.1 Isodesmic Supramolecular Polymerization

The isodesmic supramolecular polymerization (IDP, isos: equal, desmos: bond), also often referred to as the “multi‐stage open association” mechanism [28, 41, 42], involves the formation of one type of reversible, non‐covalent interaction between monomers, oligomers, and eventually even polymer chains ( Figure 1.5). All supramolecular bonds, which are formed throughout the entire process, are considered to be identical, and thus, the reactivity of all species present is considered to have the same reactivity (i.e. monomers, oligomers, and polymers). Thereby, the neighboring group effects or additional interactions with non‐adjacent sites are neglected. Each single step of the process is characterized by the intermolecular equilibrium constant K ( Figure 1.5) – regardless of the chain length. As a result, from the equivalence of each individual polymerization step, IDPs do not exhibit any critical values for the concentration or temperature of the supramolecular polymerization (cpc: critical polymerization concentration, cpt: critical polymerization temperature) [41, 43]. Unlike for the ring‐chain‐mediated polymerization ( vide supra ), no cyclic species can be found during the self‐assembly process. The counterpart to IDP in “traditional” polymer science is the step‐by‐step reversible polycondensation where intramolecular cyclizations are absent and Flory's “principle of equal reactivity” is obeyed [44, 45]. Detailed investigations have shown that, for example, the polycondensation of decanedioyl chloride with 1,10‐decamethylene glycol in dioxane meets these requirements [46].

According to the rules of thermodynamics, the free energy of the system constantly decreases when the monomeric units are successively added to the growing polymer chain; this, in turn, further supports the assumption that binding of a monomer to the terminus of a polymer chain is independent of its length (an idealized energy diagram, in which kinetic barriers within the self‐assembly process are neglected, is depicted in Figure 1.6a) [26].
