In this review, we describe the developments in the field of naphthalene diimides (NDIs)
from 2016 to the presentday. NDIs are shown to be an increasingly interesting class of …

In this review, we focus on the very recent developments on the use of the stimuli responsive
properties of polymer hydrogels for targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and …

Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

Luminescent hydrogels are emerging soft materials with applications in photoelectric,
biomedicine, sensors and actuators, which are fabricated via covalently conjugation of …

A triphenylalanine-based superhydrogel shows automatic syneresis (self-compressing
properties) with time and this self-shrinking behavior has been successfully utilized to …
