Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Low molecular weight supramolecular gels consist of small molecules (gelators) that in an
appropriate solvent self-assemble into nano-or micro-scale network structures resulting in …

Organogels are semi-solid systems with an organic liquid phase immobilized by a three-
dimensional network composed of self-assembled, crosslinked or entangled gelator fibers …

Low molecular weight gels, or supramolecular gels, are formed when small molecules self-
assemble into fibrous structures. Above a critical concentration, the entanglement and cross …

The remarkable capability of nature to design and create excellent self-assembled nano-
structures, especially in the biological world, has motivated chemists to mimic such systems …

Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) self-assemble in solution into one-dimensional
objects such as fibres or tapes. The entanglement of these fibres or tapes results in the …

A chiral supramolecular hydrogel (CSH) is designed for selective loading of chiral drugs and
pH-responsive drug delivery. A derivative of phenylalanine is first synthesized as the gelator …

Over the last two decades, organogels have found tremendous use in the pharmaceutical,
food, and cosmetics industries with notable developments as drug delivery matrices and …

Stable supramolecular hydrogels were obtained from Fmoc (N-fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl)
protected synthetic dipeptides, Fmoc-Xaa-Asp-OH (Xaa= Tyr, Phe). These hydrogels were …
