Abstract
Recently, supramolecular self-assembly has attracted the attention of researchers worldwide because it enables the creation of nanostructures with unique properties without additional costs. Spontaneous organization of molecules allows the design and development of new nanostructures that can interact with drugs and living cells and generate a response. Therefore, supramolecular structures have enormous potential and can be in demand in various fields of healthcare and ecology. One of the widely used building blocks of such supramolecular assemblies is polymers. This review examines the joint aggregation behavior of various macrocycles (cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, porphyrins, and pillararenes) with polymers, the functional properties of these supramolecular systems and their potential applications.
