Polymers which can form supramolecular networks are a promising class of materials to provide highly sought-after properties such as self-healing, enhanced mechanical strength, super-stretchability as well as easy recyclability. However, due to the vast range of possible chemical structures it is very demanding to optimize these materials for the desired performance. Consequently, a detailed understanding of the molecular processes that govern the macroscopic properties is paramount to their technological application. Here we discuss some telechelic model systems with hydrogen-bonding end groups and how dielectric spectroscopy in combination with linear oscillatory shear rheology helped to understand the association mechanism on a molecular scale, and verify the model of bond-lifetime renormalization. Furthermore, we analyze a limitation of these H-bonding polymers, namely that there is a trade-off between high plateau modulus and long terminal relaxation time --both cannot be maximized at the same time. Lastly, we show how more complex end groups phase separate from the main chain melt and thus lead to a more sophisticated rheological behavior which can overcome that limitation.
