A significant number of natural biomaterials are based on supramolecular polymers. Their polymerization and depolymerization processes are key for their function. Today, artificial supramolecular polymers are well established and insights into their polymerization mechanisms well developed. Even their use as biomaterials is entering the clinic. In the lecture, new fundamental insights into the adaptive nature of supramolecular polymers are presented by using a plethora of characterization techniques combined with simulations.
