Self-assembly is a growth mechanism in nature to apply local interactions forming a
minimum energy structure. Currently, self-assembled materials are considered for …

Supramolecular hydrogels assembled from amino acids and peptide‐derived hydrogelators
have shown great potential as biomimetic three‐dimensional (3D) extracellular matrices …

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 …

Rational design of small molecular gelators is an elusive and herculean task, despite the
rapidly growing body of literature devoted to such gels over the past decade. The process of …

Written at a level comprehensible to non-experts, this handbook covers the current state of
encapsulation and controlled released technologies, presenting the fundamental processes …

Oleogels may be defined as lipophilic liquid and solid mixtures, in which solid lipid materials
(oleogelators) with lower concentrations (< 10wt.%) can entrap bulk liquid oil by ways of the …

Bigels are interesting semisolid formulations with better properties for different applications
such as cosmetics and pharmaceutical systems. Due to the mixing of two phases of different …

The main objective of this research was to enhance the understanding of the oil-structuring
properties of natural waxes. A number of natural food-grade waxes were evaluated for their …

Over the last two decades, organogels have found tremendous use in the pharmaceutical,
food, and cosmetics industries with notable developments as drug delivery matrices and …

Stable supramolecular hydrogels were obtained from Fmoc (N-fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl)
protected synthetic dipeptides, Fmoc-Xaa-Asp-OH (Xaa= Tyr, Phe). These hydrogels were …
