Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry seeks to mimic the ability of life forms to
use conserved sets of building blocks and chemical reactions to achieve a bewildering array …

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 …

Incorporation of non‐equilibrium actions in the sequence of self‐assembly processes would
be an effective means to establish bio‐like high functionality hierarchical assemblies. As a …

The soft and wet machines of life emerged as the spatially enclosed ensemble of
biomolecules with replicating capabilities integrated with metabolic reaction cycles that …

The self-assembly of block copolymers into 1D, 2D and 3D nano-and microstructures is of
great interest for a wide range of applications. A key challenge in this field is obtaining …

Dissipative self‐assembly (DSA) system requires a continuous supply of fuels to maintain
the far‐from‐equilibrium assembled state. Living organisms exist and operate far from the …

A rich variety of smart materials developed via supramolecular assembly strategies have
been introduced in the past decades. However, most materials reside in the thermodynamic …

Conspectus Spherical ordering from small molecules is a subject of intense interest to
chemists. The inherent capability of amphiphiles to assemble spontaneously is the unique …

Dissipative assembly has great potential for the creation of new adaptive chemical systems.
However, while molecular assembly at equilibrium is routinely used to prepare complex …

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are smart three-dimensional materials containing a huge
amount of water, which can respond to different stimuli. Typical polymeric hydrogels can be …
