Systemic drug delivery methods such as oral or parenteral administration of free drugs
possess relatively low treatment efficiency and marked adverse side effects. The use of …

As a kind of important semi-solid material, the gel has gained increasing attention due to the
high demand for fundamental research and practical applications. Organogels are gels …

Organogels are semi-solid systems with an organic liquid phase immobilized by a three-
dimensional network composed of self-assembled, crosslinked or entangled gelator fibers …

In recent years low molecular mass organic gelators (LMOGs) have gained increasing
interest as an alternative biomaterial to polymer derived gels, with potential applications in …

Organogels are semi-solid systems, in which an organic liquid phase is immobilized by a
three-dimensional network composed of self-assembled, intertwined gelator fibers. Despite …

Pharmaceutical drugs with low water solubility have always received great attention within
the scientific community. The reduced bioavailability and the need of frequent …

Written at a level comprehensible to non-experts, this handbook covers the current state of
encapsulation and controlled released technologies, presenting the fundamental processes …

The use of an endogenous stimulus instead of external trigger has an advantage for
targeted and controlled release in drug delivery. Here, we report on cascade nanoreactors …

The superhydrophobic surfaces inspired by the lotus have excellent performances and are
known for their low contact angle hysteresis and smooth surfaces. However, there are still …

Supramolecular gels, self-assembled from low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs), have a
long history and a bright future. This review provides an overview of these materials, from …
