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 …

Recently, there is a growing research interest in the applications and development of novel
sustainable hydrogel materials in waste water treatment because of radically distinctive …

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 …

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

Aromatic peptide amphiphiles are gaining popularity as building blocks for the bottom-up
fabrication of nanomaterials, including gels. These materials combine the simplicity of small …

It has become common to reference “pi-stacking” forces or “pi–pi interactions” when
describing the interactions between neighbouring aromatic rings. Here, we review …

Hydrogels are unique supramolecular solid-like assemblies composed mainly of water
molecules that are held by molecular networks. Physical hydrogels that are formed by a set …

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

Supramolecular natural product gels (NPGs) have emerged as promising biomaterials for
scalable and adjustable drug delivery systems. These gels possess biocompatibility …

This review covers an important class of soft-materials–peptide-based hydrogels,
distinctively focussing on the different types of small peptide/low molecular weight and …
