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 …

Molecular material properties depend upon the contacts between and the arrangement of
the component parts, and therefore supramolecular chemistry has developed a highly …

Molecular self-assembly under kinetic control is expected to yield nanostructures that are
inaccessible through the spontaneous thermodynamic process. Moreover, time-dependent …

Multicomponent supramolecular copolymerization promises to construct complex
nanostructures with emergent properties. However, even with two monomeric components …

Nature is enriched with a wide variety of complex, synergistic, and highly functional protein-
based multicomponent assemblies. As such, nature has served as a source of inspiration for …

Living systems use fuel-driven supramolecular polymers such as actin to control important
cell functions. Fuel molecules like ATP are used to control when and where such polymers …

Achieving the activation of drugs within cellular systems may provide targeted therapies.
Here we construct a tumour-selective cascade activatable self-detained system (TCASS) …

Understanding the relations between the formation, structure, dynamics and functionality of
complex synthetic materials is one of the great challenges in chemistry and nanotechnology …

This review discusses supramolecular biofunctional materials, a novel class of biomaterials
formed by small molecules that are held together via noncovalent interactions. The …

Low molecular weight gels, or supramolecular gels, are formed when small molecules self-
assemble into fibrous structures. Above a critical concentration, the entanglement and cross …
