As polymers and polymeric materials are "the" smart invention and technological driving force of the 20th century, the quest for self-healing or self-repairing polymers is strong. The concept of supramolecular self-healing materials relies on the use of noncovalent, transient bonds to generate networks, which are able to heal the damaged site, putting aspects of reversibility and dynamics of a network as crucial factors for the understanding and design of such self-healing materials. This Review describes recent examples and concepts of supramolecular polymers based on hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, ionomers, and coordinative bonds, thus convincingly discussing the advantages and versatility of these supramolecular forces for the design and realization of self-healing polymers.
由于聚合物和高分子材料是“20 世纪的”智能发明和技术驱动力，因此对自修复或自修复聚合物的探索非常强烈。超分子自修复材料的概念依赖于使用非共价、瞬变键来生成网络，这些网络能够修复受损部位，将网络的可逆性和动态性方面作为理解和设计此类自修复材料的关键因素。本综述介绍了基于氢键、π-π 相互作用、离聚物和配位键的超分子聚合物的最新实例和概念，从而令人信服地讨论了这些超分子力在设计和实现自修复聚合物方面的优势和多功能性。
