Abstract A novel amphiphilic supramolecular polymer (ASP) with rigid linear main chain has been constructed by the co-assembly of a rigid amphiphilic monomer and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) in water, driven by CB[8]-based host-guest interactions. The ASP could further self-assemble into well-defined architectures including nanotubes and 2D films, depending on its concentration. Moreover, pH-responsive behavior of the ASP was also observed.
