This Review presents polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, and
proteins as functional stimuli‐responsive polymer scaffolds that yield hydrogels with …

Lanthanide-derived flexible luminescent hydrogels have attracted attention due to their
unique physical, chemical, and biological properties, which enable the construction of …

Conventional luminescent information is usually visible under either ambient or UV light,
hampering their potential application in smart confidential information protection. In order to …

We have developed model light-emitting metallogels functionalized with lanthanide metal–
ligand coordination complexes via a terpyridyl-end-capped four-arm poly (ethylene glycol) …

Supramolecular gels are a fascinating class of soft materials. Their gelators can self-
assemble into nano-or micro-scale superstructures, such as fibers, ribbons, sheets and …

New fluorochromic materials that reversibly change their emission properties in response to
their environment are of interest for the development of sensors and light‐emitting materials …

Herein some examples of the use of lanthanide ions (f-metal ions) to direct the synthesis of
luminescent self-assembly systems (architectures) will be discussed. This area of lanthanide …

This review covers various aspects of recent developments on the design, the synthesis, the
characterization of gels that:(i) are formed in the presence of metal ions (metallogels);(ii) are …

Soft material gels are important biomaterials for tissue engineering and biomedicine.
Fluorescent polymer gels possess the additional property of being light emitting, which …

Introducing metal components into gel matrices provides an effective strategy to develop soft
materials with advantageous properties such as: optical activity, conductivity, magnetic …
