自组织材料的复杂应用，包括液晶、嵌段共聚物、氢键和π键合复合物以及许多天然聚合物，可能是许多先进技术行业开发新结构和设备的关键。合成材料的设计通常只考虑一种结构形成过程。然而，大分子系统中互补和拮抗相互作用的组合可以在许多长度尺度上创造材料的秩序。在这里，利用竞争分子相互作用的聚合物材料进行了总结，并强调了通过合成和加工途径进一步开发此类材料的前景。
The sophisticated use of self-organizing materials, which include liquid crystals, block copolymers, hydrogen-and pi-bonded complexes, and many natural polymers, may hold the key to developing new structures and devices in many advanced technology industries. Synthetic materials are usually designed with only one structure-forming process in mind. However, combination of both complementary and antagonistic interactions in macromolecular systems can create order in materials over many length scales. Here polymer materials that make use of competing molecular interactions are summarized, and the prospects for the further development of such materials through both synthetic and processing pathways are highlighted.
