Supramolecular polymers usually prepared in solution. However anomalous polymeric properties can be expected when these polymers are prepared without a conventional organic or aqueous medium. For instance, liquid crystal media may affect the elementary steps of supramolecular polymerization as demonstrated by Takashi Kato in 1998, in the supramolecular crosslinking polymerization of physical gelators, which form a liquid crystal physical gel. When monomers are designed to be highly affinitive toward the LC media, supramolecular polymerization causes an order-increasing phase transition, resulting in a core-shell columnar LC. Supramolecular polymers can also be prepared in the solid-state, for instance, a nucleobase-appended telechelic oligomer as a monomer, resulted in the formation of 1D fibers upon cooling from its hot melt. As a new class of materials, supramolecular polymers formed at electrode and at the interface also become available.
