Supramolecular gels assemble via non-covalent interactions between low-molecular-weight
gelators (LMWGs). The gels form a solid-like nanoscale network spanning a liquid-like …

This review explores supramolecular gels as materials for environmental remediation.
These soft materials are formed by self-assembling low-molecular-weight building blocks …

Hydrogels are materials used in a variety of applications, ranging from tissue engineering to
drug delivery. The incorporation of nanoparticles to yield composite hydrogels has gained …

Abstract 1, 3: 2, 4‐Dibenzylidene‐d‐sorbitol (DBS), a simple, commercially relevant
compound, was found to self‐assemble as a result of intermolecular noncovalent …

Self-healing gels, which are able to restore their original shape/condition after damage,
have recently attracted considerable interest. The present review provides an update on the …

Various kinds of stimuli–responsive N-isopropylacrylamide copolymers are among an
important class of bioengineering materials that have been the subject of many extensive …

Combining low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) with polymers is a broad yet relatively
recent field, in a phase of rapid expansion and with huge potential for exploitation. This …

The free-radical polymerization of acrylamide in aqueous clay dispersions and the structure
of the resulting polymer− clay nanocomposite hydrogels have been investigated by …
