This Review focuses on the establishment and development of self-assemblies governed by
the supramolecular interactions between cyclic peptides. The Review first describes the type …

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

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly developing field of …

With the introduction of supramolecular polymers, which are polymers based on monomeric
units held together with directional and reversible secondary interactions, the playground for …

Although there are no fundamental factors hindering the development of nanoscale
structures, there is a growing realization that “engineering down” approaches, in other words …

Peptide-based hydrogels have attracted increasing attention for biological applications and
diagnostic research due to their impressive features including biocompatibility and …

Hydrogen bonds are like human beings in the sense that they exhibit typical grouplike
behavior. As an individual they are feeble, easy to break, and sometimes hard to detect …
