Figure 6.4 The preparation of nanostructured materials in solution evolves from (a) the classic examples of suspension, dispersion, or emulsion polymerization, to the methods that include the covalent crosslinking of select domains within supramolecular polymer assemblies (b) core crosslinking of polymer micelles (c) shell crosslinking of polymer micelles (SCKs) (d) nanocages from core-eroded SCKs (e) shaved hollow nanospheres from outer shell/core-eroded vesicles.

The reattachment of two supramolecular polymers, such as that observed when a high concentration of sheared microtubules is permitted to incubate in vitro. End-to-end annealing of microtubules is an unlikely process in living cells, because (a) the viscosity of the cytoplasm is apt to reduce greatly the tumbling of these polymers and (b) the so-called minus ends of the microtubules are usually firmly attached to microtubule-organizing centers.

The toolkit of interactions available for supramolecular polymers can be divided into the six categories fisted in Table 1.1 that includes hydrophobic interactions, which are dealt with in more detail in Chapter 2. 

In this chapter, we present a brief overview of supramolecular polymers and polymerization and supramolecular interactions of polymer side chains. We provide examples of the control over the solution state polymer strucmre that can be achieved at the molecular level and then extended to micro- and macroscale assemblies.

The concept of supramolecular polymers containing multiple hydrogen bonding units was introduced over a decade ago by Jean-Marie Lehn (Lehn 1993). In this smdy, three-point hydrogen bonding between bifunctional diamidopyridine and thymine...
