This is the first comprehensive review on methods and materials for use in optical sensing of
pH values and on applications of such sensors. The Review starts with an introduction that …

Supramolecular gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules under the
influence of various non-covalent interactions. As the interactions are individually weak and …

Biomedical hydrogels as sole repair matrices or combined with pre-seeded cells and
bioactive growth factors are extensively applied in tissue engineering and regenerative …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

Supramolecular polymer networks are materials crosslinked by reversible supramolecular
interactions, such as hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions. Supramolecular …

Self‐assembly is a powerful tool for constructing supramolecular materials for many
applications, ranging from energy harvesting to biomedicine. Among the methods to prepare …

Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to their surrounding environment. These polymers are
capable of responding to a variety of external stimuli, which include optical, electrical …

Amphiphilic molecules, comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties and the intrinsic
propensity to self‐assemble in aqueous environment, sustain a fascinating spectrum of …

Theranostic agents for combined chemo-photothermal therapy have attracted intensive
