Self-assembly approaches, eg colloidal, emulsion and polymer phase separation, provide
scientists with an exotic yet direct platform to access technologically desired nanostructures …

Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

Supramolecular polymer networks are materials crosslinked by reversible supramolecular
interactions, such as hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions. Supramolecular …

The complexity of hard‐to‐treat diseases strongly undermines the therapeutic potential of
available treatment options. Therefore, a paradigm shift from monotherapy toward …

The supramolecular crosslinking of polymer chains in water by specific, directional and
dynamic non-covalent interactions has led to the development of novel supramolecular …

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

Mixed thermoreversible gels were successfully fabricated by the addition of a
thermosensitive polymer, poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM), to fibrillar nanostructures …

Biomechanical performance of functional cartilage is executed by the exclusive anisotropic
composition and spatially varying intricate architecture in articulating ends of diarthrodial …

In this review, we survey recent literature (2009–2013) on hydrogels that are mechanically
tough and adhesive. The impact of published work and trends in the field are examined. We …
