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 …

Polymers, ceramics and metals have historically dominated the application of materials in
medicine. Yet rationally designed materials that exploit specific, directional, tunable and …

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

Hydrogels prepared via self-assembly offer scalable and tunable platforms for drug delivery
applications. Molecular-scale self-assembly leverages an interplay of attractive and …

Peptide amphiphiles are a class of molecules that combine the structural features of
amphiphilic surfactants with the functions of bioactive peptides and are known to assemble …

1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

Biomaterials made from self-assembling, short peptides and peptide derivatives have great
potential to generate powerful new therapies in regenerative medicine. The high signaling …

Recently, there has been tremendous progress in the field of nanodimensional conducting
polymers with the objective of tuning the intrinsic properties of the polymer and the potential …

We synthesized a series of peptide amphiphiles (PAs) with systematically modified amino
acid sequences to control the mechanical properties of the nanofiber gels they form by self …

In this paper we report the conjugation of an aromatic moiety (pyrene (P), fluorene (F), or
naphthalene (N)) to pentapeptides GAGAS (1), GVPVP (2), VPGVG (3), VTEEI (4), VYGGG …
