The ability to manipulate the structure and function of promising nanosystems via energy
input and external stimuli is emerging as an attractive paradigm for developing …

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

Transfer of both chirality and energy information plays an important role in biological
systems. Here we show a chiral donor π-gelator and assembled it with an achiral π-acceptor …

Increasing demand for fuels and chemicals, driven by factors including over-population, the
threat of global warming and the scarcity of fossil resources, strains our resource system and …

In this review, we focus on the types of smart supramolecular gels whose self-assembly
processes are affected or even triggered by physical forces including sonication and …

Among the renewable resource materials, cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is considered as
an important starting material due to its unique structural features, abundant availability and …

The last few decades have witnessed a spiralling growth of interest in polymers from
renewable resources within both the scientific and industrial communities. This review …

Supramolecular amphiphiles (SA), also named superamphiphiles, refer to amphiphiles that
are formed by non-covalent interactions. This tutorial review focuses on the molecular …

This perspective article examines the state of the art regarding the field of polymers from
renewable resources and attempts to give a critical appraisal of the situation related to a …

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 …
