Abstract

In this review, we summarize the chemistry of water compatible supramolecular polymers (WCSPs) based on the core supramolecular approaches at play, namely hydrogen-bonding arrays, electrostatic interactions, large π-conjugated subunits, host–guest interactions, and peptide-based systems, respectively. We discuss both synthesis and polymer structure, as well as the underlying design expectations and potential applications.
