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 …

Polymers, ceramics and metals have historically dominated the application of materials in
medicine. Yet rationally designed materials that exploit specific, directional, tunable and …

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

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 …

Supramolecular or molecular gels are attractive for various applications, including
diagnostics, tissue scaffolding and targeted drug release. Gelators derived from natural …

This review discusses supramolecular biofunctional materials, a novel class of biomaterials
formed by small molecules that are held together via noncovalent interactions. The …

In recent years low molecular mass organic gelators (LMOGs) have gained increasing
interest as an alternative biomaterial to polymer derived gels, with potential applications in …

Nanocomposite hydrogels are prepared combining polymer brush‐modified 'hard'cellulose
nanocrystals (CNC) and 'soft'polymeric domains, and bound together by cucurbit [8] uril (CB …

Guanine and related nucleobases such as guanosine, deoxyguanosine and isoguanosine
are notable molecular tools for designing functional supramolecular assemblies. This …

Supramolecular hydrogels derived from natural products have promising applications in
diagnostics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. We studied the formation of a long-lived …
