Ionomers are polymers with bonded ionic species that are used under conditions where the salt groups are in a condensed state. This Feature Article discusses the state of our understanding of ionomers and the historical applications of these nanostructured polymers. It also discusses modern methods for synthesizing new ionomers and describes a number of relatively new applications for ionomers and the potential use of these materials in contemporary technologies, including, shape memory and self-healing materials and supramolecular polymer systems.
