Low molecular weight gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules into
anisotropic structures that form a network capable of immobilizing the solvent. Such gels are …

During the billions of years of the evolutionary journey, primitive polymers, involved in proto
metabolic pathways with low catalytic activity, played critical roles in the emergence of …

Supramolecular gels, self-assembled from low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs), have a
long history and a bright future. This review provides an overview of these materials, from …

Both micelles and self‐assembled monolayer (SAM)‐protected nanoparticles are capable of
efficiently hosting water‐immiscible substrates to carry out organic reactions in aqueous …

We report the effects of a laser-oxidized single layer graphene (SLG) surface on the self-
assembly of amphiphilic gelator N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanine (Fmoc-Phe) …

Control over intracellular release of therapeutic compounds incorporated into nano-carriers
will open new possibilities for targeted treatments of various diseases including cancer, and …

Light can be used to design stimuli–responsive systems. We induce transient changes in the
assembly of a low molecular weight gelator solution using a merocyanine photoacid …

There is a continued interest for smart surfaces that can transition between being
hydrophobic or hydrophilic on-demand. Surfaces that can be switched with light are highly …
