Hollow polymer cylinders in a polystyrene glass (see Figure) formed by self organization of hydrogen‐bonded supramolecules are reported. Part of the supramolecular template can be conveniently removed after the structure has been formed allowing the tubes to be emptied without need for degradation or similar methods.
