Supramolecular gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules under the
influence of various non-covalent interactions. As the interactions are individually weak and …

Supramolecular polymers exhibit fascinating structures, and their properties, and thus
applications, depend both on the strength and dynamics of the non-covalent bonds and on …

Hydrogels are one of the most commonly explored classes of biomaterials. Their chemical
and structural versatility has enabled their use across a wide range of applications, including …

In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of
supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the …

Molecular material properties depend upon the contacts between and the arrangement of
the component parts, and therefore supramolecular chemistry has developed a highly …

The field of supramolecular chemistry focuses on the non-covalent interactions between
molecules that give rise to molecular recognition and self-assembly processes. Since most …

Bioinspired out-of-equilibrium systems will set the scene for the next generation of molecular
materials with active, adaptive, autonomous, emergent and intelligent behavior. Indeed life …

Molecular self-assembly under kinetic control is expected to yield nanostructures that are
inaccessible through the spontaneous thermodynamic process. Moreover, time-dependent …

By means of two supramolecular systems—peptide amphiphiles engaged in hydrogen-
bonded β-sheets, and chromophore amphiphiles driven to assemble by π-orbital overlaps …

Amphiphilic molecules, comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties and the intrinsic
propensity to self‐assemble in aqueous environment, sustain a fascinating spectrum of …
