Stimuli responsive dynamic transformations in supramolecular gels

S Panja, DJ Adams - Chemical Society Reviews, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
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 hydrogelators and hydrogels: from soft matter to molecular biomaterials

X Du, J Zhou, J Shi, B Xu - Chemical reviews, 2015 - ACS Publications
In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of
