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 …

A Perspective is presented on the history and current understanding of molecular gels and
the factors that must be considered to characterize them. The abilities of the most important …

Low molecular weight supramolecular gels consist of small molecules (gelators) that in an
appropriate solvent self-assemble into nano-or micro-scale network structures resulting in …

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 …

In this review, we have focused on the design and development of low molecular weight self-
assembling peptide-based materials for various applications including cell proliferation …

Dibenzylidene-D-sorbitol (DBS) has been a well-known low-molecular-weight gelator of
organic solvents for over 100 years. As such, it constitutes a very early example of a …

Low molecular weight gels can be responsive to a range of external stimuli. The use of light
as an external stimulus to modify gels is of particular interest for a number of reasons. Light …

Low molecular weight gels are formed by the self-assembly of a suitable small molecule
gelator into a three-dimensional network of fibrous structures. The gel properties are …
