The paper described here concerns a challenge of general interest for producing a novel structure of a polymer aggregate, the achievement of nanowires with controlled diameters. We provide a strategy for fabricating a supramolecular polymer, in which ordered polydiacetylene nanowires can be obtained by associated self-polymerization and self-assembly processes. The polymer nanowire film shows excellent field emission properties with the turn-on field of 8.2 V/
m at 10
A/cm
2 and the maximum current density of 5 mA/cm
2 at an applied field of 15 V/
m.
