Supramolecular polymers are self-assembled materials displaying adaptive and responsive life-like behavior, often made of aromatic compounds engaging in pi-pi interactions. Recent advances have been made in controlling their self-assembly from thermodynamically-controlled isodesmic to kinetically-controlled living polymerization. Dynamic covalent chemistry has been utilized to generate dynamic covalent polymers, acting as dynamic analogues of biomacromolecules.
Supramolecular polymers are self-assembled materials displaying adaptive and responsive life-like behaviour which are often made of aromatic compounds capable of engaging in pi-pi interactions to form larger assemblies. Major advances have been made recently in controlling their mode of self-assembly, from thermodynamically-controlled isodesmic to kinetically-controlled living polymerization. Dynamic covalent chemistry has been recently implemented to generate dynamic covalent polymers which can be seen as dynamic analogues of biomacromolecules. On the other hand, peptides are readily-available and structurally-rich building blocks that can lead to secondary structures or specific functions. In this context, the past decade has seen intense research activity in studying the behaviour of aromatic-peptide conjugates through supramolecular and/or dynamic covalent chemistries. Herein, we review those impressive key achievements showcasing how aromatic- and peptide-based self-assemblies can be combined using dynamic covalent and/or supramolecular chemistry, and what it brings in terms of the structure, self-assembly pathways, and function of supramolecular and dynamic covalent polymers.
