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 …

Natural evolution has provided multicellular organisms with sophisticated functionalities and
repair mechanisms for surviving and preserve their functions after an injury and/or infection …

Gel-nanocomposites are rapidly emerging functional advanced materials having
widespread applications in materials and biological sciences. Herein, we review syntheses …

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 …

The remarkable capability of nature to design and create excellent self-assembled nano-
structures, especially in the biological world, has motivated chemists to mimic such systems …

In the miniaturization of manufactured goods, the practical limits of what can be achieved
when engineering from the “top down” are being approached.(1-9) Despite the continuing …

Dielectric elastomers (DE) suffer from cracks and breaks during repeated cycles, thus a DE
material with both high actuated strain (SA) and self-healing ability is highly desired. Herein …

During the last decade or two the interest towards small molecules capable of self-assembly
leading to gelation has increased intensively. The investigation of these supramolecular …

A single amino acid (phenylalanine) based pyrene conjugated low molecular weight
hydrogelator has been discovered. This amino acid derivative has been found to form …

In this study, chiral helical nanofibers have been obtained from suitable, co-assembling, two
oppositely charged amino acid based two component hydrogels. An equimolar mixture of an …
