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 …

Supramolecular polymers exhibit fascinating structures, and their properties, and thus
applications, depend both on the strength and dynamics of the non-covalent bonds and on …

One basic principle regulating self-assembly is associated with the asymmetry of constituent
building blocks or packing models. Using asymmetry to manipulate molecular-level devices …

Self-assembling systems play a significant role in physiological functions and have therefore
attracted tremendous attention due to their great potential for applications in energy …

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 …

Conspectus Peptide amphiphiles (PAs) are small molecules that contain hydrophobic
components covalently conjugated to peptides. In this Account, we describe recent …

Supramolecular polymerization has been traditionally focused on the thermodynamic
equilibrium state, where one-dimensional assemblies reside at the global minimum of the …

The research field of supramolecular polymerization has dramatically progressed in the last
three decades, and much deeper insights into its new mechanisms, including kinetic and …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

Amphiphiles are synthetic or natural molecules with the ability to self‐assemble into a wide
variety of structures including micelles, vesicles, nanotubes, nanofibers, and lamellae. Self …
