13.3 Function of Pillar[N]Arene-Based Supramolecular Polymer
As well known, supramolecular polymer was defined as polymers based on monomeric units held together by directional and reversible noncovalent interactions,
which exhibited the dynamic nature upon the external stimuli, such as the temperature, pH, light, or competitive molecules. Therefore, with the careful design of pillar
[n]arene-based supramolecular polymer, we could obtain the functional systems,
