This book provides an overview of the diverse and developing area of supramolecular polymerization. Each topic and chapter details state-of-the-art developments with references to related disciplines. Beginning with an introduction to the basics, this book refers to the area of chemistry beyond the molecules and examines the chemical systems made up of assembled molecular components. The authors cover supramolecular polymerization for oligomers, macromolecules, particles, biomolecules, metal-containing blocks and dynamic supramolecular copolymerization. The book also has chapters on methods for copolymerization. By including cross-disciplinary approaches like synthetic chemistry, physics and engineering, this book is a universal go-to source for supramolecular polymerization in its broadest applications.
