Abstract
Investigations of host-guest interactions at water-oil (w/o) interfaces are limited in single emulsion systems producing simple self-assembled objects with limited uses. Here, within hierarchically ordered water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) multiple emulsion droplets, interfacial self-assembly of (polynorbornene-graft-polystyrene)-block-(polynorbornene-graft-polyethylene glycol) (PNPS-b-PNPEG) bottlebrush block copolymers can be precisely controlled through host-guest interactions. α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) in the aqueous phase can thread onto PEG side chains of the bottlebrush surfactants adsorbed at the w/o interface, leading to dehydration and collapsed chain conformation of the PEG block. Consequently, spherical curvature of the w/o internal droplets increases with the increased asymmetry of the bottlebrush molecules, producing photonic supraballs with precisely tailored structural parameters as well as photonic bandgaps. This work provides a simple but highly effective strategy for precise manipulation of complex emulsion systems applicable in a variety of applications, such as photonic pigments, cosmetic products, pesticides, artificial cells, etc.

Abstract
Supramolecular block copolymers, derived via seeded living polymerization, are increasingly recognized for their rich structural and functional diversity, marking them as cutting-edge materials. The use of metal complexes in supramolecular block copolymerization not only offers a broad range of block copolymers through the structural similarity in the coordination geometry of the central metal ion but also controls spectroscopic properties, such as emission wavelength, emission strength, and fluorescence lifetime. However, the exploration of metallosupramolecular multiblock copolymerization based on metal complexes remains quite limited. In this work, we present a pioneering synthesis of metallosupramolecular multiblock copolymers utilizing Eu3+ and Tb3+ complexes as building blocks. This is achieved through the strategic manipulation of nonequilibrium self-assemblies via a living supramolecular polymerization approach. Our comprehensive exploration of both thermodynamically and kinetically regulated metallosupramolecular polymerizations, centered around Eu3+ and Tb3+ complexes with bisterpyridine-modified ligands containing R-alanine units and a long alkyl group, has highlighted intriguing behaviors. The monomeric [R-L1Eu(NO3)3] complex generates a spherical structure as the kinetic product. In contrast, the monomeric [R-L1Eu2(NO3)6] complex generates fiber aggregates as a thermodynamic product through intermolecular interactions such as π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and H-bonds. Utilizing the Eu3+ complex, we successfully conducted seed-induced living polymerization of the monomeric building unit under kinetically regulated conditions. This yielded a metallosupramolecular polymer of precisely controlled length with minimal polydispersity. Moreover, by copolymerizing the kinetically confined Tb3+ complex state ("A" species) with a seed derived from the Eu3+ complex ("B" species), we were able to fabricate metallosupramolecular tri- and pentablock copolymers with A-B-A, and B-A-B-A-B types, respectively, through a seed-end chain-growth mechanism.

Abstract
Significant efforts have been dedicated to designing porous organic cage compounds with geometric complexity and topological diversity. However, the use of these cage molecules as premade building units for constructing infinite cage-based superstructures remains unexplored. Here, we report the use of a panel-decorated phosphine organic cage as a special monomer to achieve supramolecular polymerization, resulting in cage-by-cage noncovalent polymers through the synergy of metal-coordination and intercageπ-πdimerization. At a monomer concentration of 122 mM, the average degree of polymerization reaches 17, corresponding to a molecular weight of 26 kDa. The obtained cage-based supramolecular polymers can further hierarchically self-assemble into vesicular morphologies or one-dimensional nanofiber architectures. Selective control over the cosolvents can regulate their structural hierarchy and assembled morphology. This approach paves a new way for the construction of cage-based hierarchical assemblies and materials.

Abstract
The construction of organic-inorganic hybrid supramolecular polymers using polyoxometalate (POM) as building block is expected to bring new opportunities to the functionalization of supramolecular polymers and the development of novel POM-based soft materials. Here, by using the orthogonal self-assembly based on host-guest interactions and metal-ligand interactions, we report the in situ construction of a novel POM-based hybrid supramolecular polymer (POM-SP) at the oil-water interface, while the redox and competitive responsiveness can be triggered independently. Moreover, the binding energy of POM-SP at the interface is sufficiently strong so that the assembly of POM-SP jams, allowing the stabilization of liquids in nonequilibrium shapes, offering the possibility of fabricating all-liquid constructs with reconfigurability.

Abstract
Stabilizing liquids based on supramolecular assembly (non-covalent intermolecular interactions) has attracted significant interest, due to the increasing demand for soft, liquid-based devices where the shape of the liquid is far from the equilibrium spherical shape. The components comprising these interfacial assemblies must have sufficient binding energies to the interface to prevent their ejection from the interface when the assemblies are compressed. Here, we highlight recent advances in structuring liquids based on non-covalent intermolecular interactions. We describe some of the progress made that reveals structure-property relationships. In addition to treating advances, we discuss some of the limitations and provide a perspective on future directions to inspire further studies on structured liquids based on supramolecular assembly.

Abstract
The successful preparation of supramolecular block copolymers (SBCPs) by living supramolecular assembly technology requires two kinetic systems in which both the seed (nucleus) and heterogenous monomer providers are in non-equilibrium. However, employing simple monomers to construct the SBCPs via this technology is almost impossible because the low spontaneous nucleation barrier of simple molecules prevents the formation of kinetic states. Here, with the help of confinement from layered double hydroxide (LDH), various simple monomers successfully form living supramolecular co-assemblies (LSCA). LDH overcomes a considerable energy barrier to obtain living seeds to support the growth of the inactivated second monomer. The ordered LDH topology is sequentially mapped to the seed, second monomer, and binding sites. Thus, the multidirectional binding sites are endowed with the ability to branch, making the branch length of dendritic LSCA reach its maximum value of 3.5 cm so far. The strategy of universality will guide exploration into the development of multi-function and multi-topology advanced supramolecular co-assemblies.

Abstract
Introduction of multiple kinetic aggregation states (Aggs) into the self-assembly pathway could bring complexity and flexibility to the self-assemblies, which is difficult to realize due to the delicate equilibria established among different Aggs bonded by weak noncovalent interactions. Here, we describe a series of chiral and achiral d10 AuI bis(N-heterocyclic carbene, NHC) complexes, and the achiral complex could undergo self-assembly with multiple kinetic Aggs. Generation of multiple kinetic Aggs was realized by applying chiral or achiral seeds exhibiting large differences in elongation temperatures for their respective cooperative self-assembly processes. We further showed that the chiral AuI self-assemblies having non-centrosymmetric packing forms exhibit nonlinear optical response of second harmonic generation (SHG), while the SHG signal is absent in the achiral analogue. The crystalline achiral AuI self-assemblies could function as optical waveguides with strong emission polarization.

Abstract
Introducing a second component is an effective way to manipulate polymerization behavior. However, this phenomenon has rarely been observed in colloidal systems, such as polymeric nanoparticles. Here, we report the supramolecular polymerization of polymeric nanorods mediated by block copolymers. Experimental observations and simulation results illustrate that block copolymers surround the polymeric nanorods and mainly concentrate around the two ends, leaving the hydrophobic side regions exposed. These polymeric nanorods connect in a side-by-side manner through hydrophobic interactions to form bundles. As polymerization progresses, the block copolymers gradually deposit onto the bundles and finally assemble into helical nanopatterns on the outermost surface, which terminates the polymerization. It is anticipated that this work could offer inspiration for a general strategy of controllable supramolecular polymerization.

Abstract
The precise sequence control of polymer chain is an important research topic of polymer chemistry. Although some methods such as iterative synthesis and supramolecular polymerization have been developed to fabricate sequence-controllable polymer, it is still a great challenge to consecutively prepare multiple supramolecular polymers with different sequence structures. In this work, through the reasonable utilization of assembly motifs, we integrated multiple host-guest recognitions and metal coordination interactions to prepare different sequence-controlled supramolecular polymers by a multistep assembly strategy. This research provides inspiration for the design and preparation of supramolecular polymers with different sequence structures.

Abstract
By employing dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations combined with stochastic polymerization models, we have conducted a detailed simulation study of supramolecular solution polymerization as well as interfacial polymerization employing a coarse-grained model which is closer to the real monomer structure. By adding bending angle potentials to coarse-grained models representing supramolecular reactive monomers, we achieved monomer model simulations for different kinds of multiple hydrogen bonds. Our simulation results indicated that for the interfacial polymerization system, the volume of the monomer caused a strong steric hindrance effect, which in turn led to a low average degree of polymerization of the product. Therefore, by appropriately reducing the volume of the reaction monomer (corresponding to different confinement ascribed to the multiple hydrogen bonds), the average polymerization degree, the degree of reaction and the polymerization rate of the monomer can be effectively improved. For the solution polymerization system and the interfacial polymerization system, a certain proportion of rigid monomers and flexible monomers (60% rigid monomers and 40% flexible monomers) are mixed. High molecular weight products can thus be obtained via the polymerization reaction. The simulation strategy proposed in this study can not only provide theoretical guidance for better design of new supramolecular systems, but also provide ideas for the further synthesis of higher molecular weight supramolecular polymers.

Abstract
Molecular weight has an important bearing on the properties of supramolecular polymers. However, the intuitive differentiation of the molecular weight of supramolecular polymers remains challenging. Given this situation, establishing a reliable relationship between fluorescence properties and molecular weight may be a promising strategy. Herein, we prepared a supramolecular monomer M1 with aggregation-induced ratiometric emission characteristics. With the increasing M1 concentration (0.100-100 mM), the average degree of polymerization (DPDOSY ) rose from 1.00 to 293. Meanwhile, the color changed from dark blue to cyan, finally to yellow-green in the same concentration range. Hence, the intuitive relationship between DPDOSY and fluorescence colors was constructed, allowing the visual differentiation of molecular weight. Moreover, the fluorescence color could be regulated by introducing a competitive molecule to induce the depolymerization of supramolecular polymers.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers, originating from the interplay between polymer science and supramolecular chemistry, have attracted increasing interest in the scientific and industrial communities. To date, most supramolecular polymers are constructed in homogeneous solutions. Supramolecular polymerization normally takes place spontaneously in solutions, thus creating challenges in fabricating supramolecular polymers in a controlled manner. By combining supramolecular polymerization and interfacial polymerization, supramolecular polymerization can be transferred from homogeneous solutions to interfaces, which allows for the controlled production of supramolecular polymers. In this Perspective, we will summarize recent progress and the advantages in supramolecular polymerization at solid-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces. Meanwhile, current challenges and opportunities in the field of supramolecular polymerization at interfaces are proposed and discussed. It is anticipated that this Perspective will inspire supramolecular polymerization at interfaces and facilitate the construction of supramolecular polymeric materials with diverse architectures and tailor-made functions.

Visualizing molecular weights differences in supramolecular polymers. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:2121746119.

Abstract
Molecular weight determinations play a vital role in the characterization of supramolecular polymers. They are essential to assessing the degree of polymerization, which in turn can have a significant impact on the properties of the polymer. While numerous characterization methods have been developed to estimate the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of supramolecular polymers, a simple visual method could provide advantages in terms of ease of use. We have now developed a system wherein differences in the fluorescent signature, including changes in color, allow variations in the Mn of an anion-responsive supramolecular polymer [M1·Zn(OTf)2]n to be readily monitored. The present visual differentiation strategy provides a tool that may be used to characterize supramolecular polymers. Issues of molecular weight determination have been central to the development of supramolecular polymer chemistry. Whereas relationships between concentration and optical features are established for well-behaved absorptive and emissive species, for most supramolecular polymeric systems no simple correlation exists between optical performance and number-average molecular weight (Mn). As such, the Mn of supramolecular polymers have to be inferred from various measurements. Herein, we report an anion-responsive supramolecular polymer [M1·Zn(OTf)2]n that exhibits monotonic changes in the fluorescence color as a function of Mn. Based on theoretical estimates, the calculated average degree of polymerization (DPcal) increases from 16.9 to 84.5 as the monomer concentration increases from 0.08 mM to 2.00 mM. Meanwhile, the fluorescent colors of M1 + Zn(OTf)2 solutions were found to pass from green to yellow and to orange, corresponding to a red shift in the maximum emission band (λmax). Therefore, a relationship between DPcal and λmax could be established. Additionally, the anion-responsive nature of the present system meant that the extent of supramolecular polymerization could be regulated by introducing anions, with the resulting change in Mn being readily monitored via changes in the fluorescent emission features.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), as a polymeric semiconductor, is promising for ecological and economical photocatalytic applications because of its suitable electronic structures, together with the low cost, facile preparation, and metal-free feature. By modifying porous g-C3N4, its photoelectric behaviors could be facilitated with transport channels for photogenerated carriers, reactive substances, and abundant active sites for redox reactions, thus further improving photocatalytic performance. There are three types of methods to modify the pore structure of g-C3N4: hard-template method, soft-template method, and template-free method. Among them, the hard-template method may produce uniform and tunable pores, but requires toxic and environmentally hazardous chemicals to remove the template. In comparison, the soft templates could be removed at high temperatures during the preparation process without any additional steps. However, the soft-template method cannot strictly control the size and morphology of the pores, so prepared samples are not as orderly as the hard-template method. The template-free method does not involve any template, and the pore structure can be formed by designing precursors and exfoliation from bulk g-C3N4 (BCN). Without template support, there was no significant improvement in specific surface area (SSA). In this review, we first demonstrate the impact of pore structure on photoelectric performance. We then discuss pore modification methods, emphasizing comparison of their advantages and disadvantages. Each method's changing trend and development direction is also summarized in combination with the commonly used functional modification methods. Furthermore, we introduce the application prospects of porous g-C3N4 in the subsequent studies. Overall, porous g-C3N4 as an excellent photocatalyst has a huge development space in photocatalysis in the future.

Abstract
A series of poly(thioctic acid-catechol)s was prepared by supramolecular copolymerization of two low-molecular-weight monomers, thioctic acid (TA) and catechol (CA). The addition of a small amount of CA molecules significantly improved the adhesion ability of poly(TA) and transformed it into an applicable supramolecular polymer adhesive material. The robust adhesion of poly(TA-CA)s to soft surfaces was achieved by employing a hot-melt method. However, the supramolecular adhesion via the hot-melt method failed to perform in the presence of water. On-site supramolecular adhesion to wet and soft substrates was successfully realized through the solvent exchange behavior between water and the poly(TA-CA)s ethanol solution. Compared to the hot-melt method, the solvent exchange method displays various fascinating advantages and is suitable for adhesion conditions normally under the presence of water.

Abstract
Chemoresponsive supramolecular systems with infinite switching capability are important for applications in recycled materials and intelligent devices. To attain this objective, here a chemoresponsive polypseudorotaxane is reported on the basis of a bis(p-phenylene)-34-crown-10 macrocycle (H) and a cyano-substituted viologen guest (G). H and G form a [2]pseudorotaxane (H⊃G) both in solution and in the solid state. Upon addition of AgSF6 , a polypseudorotaxane (denoted as [H⋅G⋅Ag]n ) forms as synergistically driven by host-guest complexation and metal-coordination interactions. [H⋅G⋅Ag]n depolymerizes into a [3]pseudorotaxane (denoted as H2 ⋅G⋅Ag2 ⋅acetone2 ) upon addition of H and AgSF6 , while it reforms with successive addition of G. The transformations between [H⋅G⋅Ag]n and H2 ⋅G⋅Ag2 ⋅acetone2 can be switched for infinite cycles, superior to the conventional chemoresponsive supramolecular polymeric systems with limited switching capability.

Abstract
The composition and structure of a membrane determine its functionality and practical application. We study the supramolecular polymeric membrane prepared by supramolecular emulsion interfacial polymerization (SEIP) on the oil-in-water droplet via the computer simulation method. The factors that may influence its structure and properties are investigated, such as the degree of polymerization and molecular weight distribution (MWD) of products in the polymeric membranes. We find that the SEIP can lead to a higher total degree of polymerization as compared to the supramolecular interfacial polymerization (SIP). However, the average chain length of products in the SEIP is lower than that of the SIP due to its obvious interface curvature. The stoichiometric ratio of reactants in two phases will affect the MWD of the products, which further affects the performance of the membranes in practical applications, such as drug release rate and permeability. Besides, the MWD of the product by SEIP obviously deviates from the Flory distribution as a consequence of the curvature of reaction interface. In addition, we obtain the MWD for the emulsions whose size distribution conforms to the Gaussian distribution so that the MWD may be predicted according to the corresponding emulsion size distribution. This study helps us to better understand the controlling factors that may affect the structure and properties of supramolecular polymeric membranes by SEIP.

Abstract
The living supramolecular polymerization technique provides an exciting research avenue. However, in comparison with the thermodynamic spontaneous nucleation, using simple monomers to realize living supramolecular polymerization is hardly possible from an energy principle. This is because the activation barrier of kinetically trapped simple monomer (nucleation step) is insufficiently high to control the kinetics of subsequent elongation. Here, with the benefit of the confinement from the layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterial, various simple monomers, (such as benzene, naphthalene and pyrene derivatives) successfully form living supramolecular polymer (LSP) with length control and narrow dispersity. The degree of polymerization can reach ~6000. Kinetics studies reveal LDH overcomes a huge energy barrier to inhibit undesired spontaneous nucleation of monomers and disassembly of metastable states. The universality of this strategy will usher exploration into other multifunctional molecules and promote the development of functional LSP. Using simple monomers in living supramolecular polymerization is difficult due to energy principles. Here the authors use confinement from a layered double hydroxide nanomaterial to successfully polymerise several simple monomers with length control and narrow dispersity.

Abstract
Interfacial polymerization (IP) is a platform technology for ultrathin membranes. However, most efforts in regulating the IP process have been focused on short-range H-bond interaction, often leading to low-permselective membranes. Herein, we report an electrostatic-modulated interfacial polymerization (eIP) via supercharged phosphate-rich substrates toward ultra-permselective polyamide membranes. Phytate, a natural strongly charged organophosphate, confers high-density long-range electrostatic attraction to aqueous monomers and affords tunable charge density by flexible metal-organophosphate coordination. The electrostatic attraction spatially enriches amine monomers and temporally decelerates their diffusion into organic phase to be polymerized with acyl chloride monomers, triggering membrane sealing and inhibiting membrane growth, thus generating polyamide membranes with reduced thickness and enhanced cross-linking. The optimized nearly 10-nm-thick and highly cross-linked polyamide membrane displays superior water permeance and ionic selectivity. This eIP approach is applicable to the majority of conventional IP processes and can be extended to fabricate a variety of advanced membranes from polymers, supermolecules, and organic framework materials. Electrostatic-modulated interfacial polymerization is proposed for the first time Electrostatic attraction regulates the spatial-temporal distribution of amine monomers Monomer regulation leads to reduced thickness and enhanced cross-linking of membrane Ultrathin and highly cross-linked polyamide membrane displays superior permselectivity

Abstract
Locking nonequilibrium shapes of liquids into targeted architectures by interfacial jamming of nanoparticles is an emerging area in material science. 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (H6 TPPS) shows three different aggregation states that present an absorption imaging platform to monitor the assembly and jamming of supramolecular polymer surfactants (SPSs) at the liquid/liquid interface. The interfacial interconversion of H6 TPPS, specifically H4 TPPS2- dissolved in water, from J- to an H-aggregation was induced by strong electrostatic interactions with amine-terminated polystyrene dissolved in toluene at the water/toluene interface. This resulted in color-tunable liquids due to interfacial jamming of the SPSs formed between H4 TPPS2- and amine-terminated polystyrene. However, the formed SPSs cannot lock in nonequilibrium shapes of liquids. In addition, a self-wrinkling behavior was observed when amphiphilic triblock copolymers of PS-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) were used to interact with H4 TPPS2- . Subsequently, the SPSs formed can lock in nonequilibrium shapes of liquids.

Abstract
One hundred years ago Hermann Staudinger was strongly criticized by his scientific peers for his macromolecular hypothesis, but today it is hard to imagine a world without polymers. His hypothesis described polymers as macromolecules composed of large numbers of structural units connected by covalent bonds. In the 1990s the concept of supramolecular polymers emerged in the scientific literature as discrete entities of large molar mass comparable to that of classical polymers but built through non-covalent bonds among monomers. Supramolecular polymers exist in biological systems, and potentially blend the physical properties of covalent polymers with unique features such as high degrees of internal order within the polymeric structure, defined shapes, and novel dynamics. This trend article provides a summary of seminal contributions in supramolecular polymerization and provides recent examples from the Stupp laboratory to demonstrate the potential applications of an exciting class of materials composed fully or partially of supramolecular polymers. In closing, we provide our perspective on future opportunities provided by this field at the onset of a second century of polymers. It is our objective here to demonstrate that this second century could be as prosperous, if not more so, than the preceding one.

Abstract
Interfacial polymerization, where a chemical reaction is confined at the liquid-liquid or liquid-air interface, exhibits a strong advantage for the controllable fabrication of films, capsules, and fibers for use as separation membranes and electrode materials. Recent developments in technology and polymer chemistry have brought new vigor to interfacial polymerization. Here, we consider the history of interfacial polymerization in terms of the polymerization types: interfacial polycondensation, interfacial polyaddition, interfacial oxidative polymerization, interfacial polycoordination, interfacial supramolecular polymerization, and some others. The accordingly emerging functional materials are highlighted, as well as the challenges and opportunities brought by new technologies for interfacial polymerization. Interfacial polymerization will no doubt keep on developing and producing a series of fascinating functional materials.

Abstract
Covalent thermosets generally exhibit robust mechanical properties, while they are fragile and lack the ability to be reprocessed or recycled. Herein, a new strategy of incorporating noncovalent bonds into main-chains is developed to construct tough and multi-recyclable cross-linked supramolecular polyureas (CSPU), which are prepared via the copolymerization of diisocyanate monomers, noncovalently bonded diamine monomers linked by quadruple hydrogen bonds, and covalent diamine/triamine monomers. The CSPU exhibit remarkable solvent resistance and outstanding mechanical properties owing to the covalent cross-linking via triamine monomer. Through the incorporation of 9.7% and 14.6% quadruple hydrogen bonded diamine monomer, the transparent CSPU films are endowed with superior toughness of 74.17 and 124.17 MJ m-3 , respectively. Impressively, even after five generations of recycling processes, the mechanical properties of reprocessed CSPU can recover more than 95% of their original properties, displaying excellent multiple recyclablity. As a result, the superior toughness, remarkable solvent resistance, high transparency, and excellent multiple recyclability are well-combined in the CSPU. It is highly anticipated that this line of research will provide a facile and general method to construct various cross-linked polymer materials with superior recyclability and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Sequence-controlled supramolecular polymers offer new design paradigms for generating stimuli-responsive macromolecules with enhanced functionalities. The dynamic character of supramolecular links present challenges to sequence definition in extended supramolecular macromolecules, and design principles remain nascent. Here, we demonstrate the first example of using stoichiometry-control to specify the monomer sequence in a linear supramolecular polymer by synthesizing both a homopolymer and an alternating copolymer from the same glycol-substituted cyanostar macrocycle and phenylene-linked diphosphate monomers. A 2:1 stoichiometry between macrocycle and diphosphate produces a supramolecular homopolymer of general formula (A)n comprised of repeating units of cyanostar-stabilized phosphate-phosphate dimers. Using a 1:1 stoichiometry, an alternating (AB)n structure is produced with half the phosphate dimers now stabilized by the additional counter cations that emerge hierarchically after forming the stronger cyanostar-stabilized phosphate dimers. These new polymer materials and binding motifs are sufficient to bear normal and shear stress to promote significant and tunable adhesive properties. The homopolymer (A)n, consisting of cyanostar-stabilized anti-electrostatic linkages, shows adhesion strength comparable to commercial superglue formulations based on polycyanoacrylate but is thermally reversible. Unexpectedly, and despite including traditional ionic linkages, the alternating copolymer (AB)n shows weaker adhesion strength more similar to commercial white glue based on poly(vinyl acetate). Thus, the adhesion properties can be tuned over a wide range by simply controlling the stoichiometric ratio of monomers. This study offers new insight into supramolecular polymers composed of custom-designed anion and receptor monomers and demonstrates the utility of emerging functional materials based on anion-anion linkages.

Abstract
Supramolecular elastomers based on quaternary hydrogen bonding of ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) groups own special properties such as reversibility, self-healing, and good processability, which can be used in many special fields. In this paper, a novel type of linear polyisoprene supramolecular elastomer (LPSE) was prepared via anionic polymerization by deliberately introducing hydroxyl, isocyanate, and UPy groups into the ends. The formation of supramolecular structure showed significant effects on the microphase structures of LPSE, which was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Results showed that the introduction of UPy groups played a certain role in the improvement of the thermal stability, toughness, and tensile strength of the elastomer. Moreover, from self-healing tests, the hydrogen bonds of UPy showed dynamic characteristics which were different from covalent sacrificial bonds and exhibited the reassociation phenomenon. This study can not only extend our understanding of the toughening effect of strong hydrogen bonds, but also help us to rationally design new and tough elastomers.

Abstract
Compared to other solid templates (metal, ceramic, carbon, etc.), polymerization on ice-surface has many advantages. However, the popularity of this method has been impeded by the lack of appropriate polymerization reactions. To date, only few oxidation polymerizations have been reported to occur on ice-surface, and unfortunately they can only produce supramolecular films rather than fully covalent films. Herein for the first time, 2D covalent materials have been created on ice-surface even at -16 °C through a C-N coupling polymerization, and two free-standing 2D polyarylamines (2DPA)s were synthesized. Both 2DPAs have decimeter-size and nanometer thickness. This study provides the first polymerization reaction to synthesize 2D covalent materials on ice-surface, which can be used to fabricate materials/tools/robots with specific 2D structure by copying ice morphologies. Furthermore, both 2DPAs exhibit higher hydrogen evolution reaction activity than many metal-free catalysts and even some metal-based catalysts, so this study also provides further insight for the development of metal-free catalysts for water-splitting.

Abstract
Here, we present a method for the building of new bicyclic heterometallic cross-linked supramolecular polymers by hierarchical unification of three types of orthogonal noncovalent interactions, including platinum(II)-pyridine coordination-driven self-assembly, zinc-terpyridine complex, and host-guest interactions. The platinum-pyridine coordination provides the primary driving force to form discrete rhomboidal metallacycles. The assembly does not interfere with the zinc-terpyridine complexes, which link the discrete metallacycles into linear supramolecular polymers, and the conjugation length is extended upon the formation of the zinc-terpyridine complexes, which red-shifts the absorption and emission spectra. Finally, host-guest interactions via bis-ammonium salt binding to the benzo-21-crown-7 (B21C7) groups on the platinum acceptors afford the cross-linked supramolecular polymers. By continuous increase of the concentration of the supramolecular polymer to a relatively high level, supramolecular polymer gel is obtained, which exhibits self-healing properties and reversible gel-sol transitions stimulated by various external stimuli, including temperature, K+, and cyclen. Moreover, the photophysical properties of the supramolecular polymers could be effectively tuned by varying the substituents of the precursor ligands.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2019; 31:e1904882.

Abstract
It is challenging to fabricate mechanically super-strong polymer composites with excellent healing capacity because of the significantly limited mobility of polymer chains. The fabrication of mechanically super-strong polymer composites with excellent healing capacity by complexing polyacrylic acid (PAA) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPON) in aqueous solution followed by molding into desired shapes is presented. The coiled PVPON can complex with PAA in water via hydrogen-bonding interactions to produce transparent PAA-PVPON composites homogenously dispersed with nanoparticles of PAA-PVPON complexes. As healable materials, the PAA-PVPON composite materials with a glass transition temperature of ≈107.9 °C exhibit a super-high mechanical strength, with a tensile strength of ≈81 MPa and a Young's modulus of ≈4.5 GPa. The PAA-PVPON composites are stable in water because of the hydrophobic interactions among pyrrolidone groups. The super-high mechanical strength of the PAA-PVPON composite materials originates from the highly dense hydrogen bonds between PAA and PVPON and the reinforcement of in situ formed PAA-PVPON nanoparticles. The reversibility of the relatively weak but dense hydrogen bonds enables convenient healing of the mechanically strong PAA-PVPON composite materials from physical damage to restore their original mechanical strength.
