Diacetylene macromonomers functionalized with a β‐sheet‐forming oligopeptide and a hydrogenated poly(isoprene) coil segment self‐assembled into supramolecular polymers with a double‐helical, tubular topology and a diameter of a few nanometers. Subsequent “1D topochemical polymerization” affords poly(diacetylene)s with a conjugated backbone and a high degree of biochemically relevant functionalization, as well as a defined hierarchical structure.
