Low-molecular-weight gels are currently a hugely important class of materials that are
attracting significant interest. These gels are formed when small molecules self-assemble …

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 …

In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of
supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the …

Advances in the field of supramolecular chemistry have made it possible, in many situations,
to reliably engineer soft materials to address a specific technological problem. Particularly …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Hydrogels can be formed by the self-assembly of certain small molecules in water. Self-
assembly occurs via non-covalent interactions. The self-assembly leads to the formation of …

Supramolecular or molecular gels are attractive for various applications, including
diagnostics, tissue scaffolding and targeted drug release. Gelators derived from natural …

The self-assembly and structural and functional properties of peptide conjugates containing
bulky terminal aromatic substituents are reviewed with a particular focus on bioactivity …

Multicomponent supramolecular systems could be used to prepare exciting new functional
materials, but it is often challenging to control the assembly across multiple length scales …

Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) self-assemble in solution into one-dimensional
objects such as fibres or tapes. The entanglement of these fibres or tapes results in the …
