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 …

Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

Helicenes are polycyclic aromatic compounds with nonplanar screw-shaped skeletons
formed by ortho-fused benzene or other aromatic rings. 1, 2 The first helicenes 1 and 2 …

As a kind of important semi-solid material, the gel has gained increasing attention due to the
high demand for fundamental research and practical applications. Organogels are gels …

Supramolecular gels are a fascinating class of soft materials. Their gelators can self-
assemble into nano-or micro-scale superstructures, such as fibers, ribbons, sheets and …

Organogels are semi-solid systems with an organic liquid phase immobilized by a three-
dimensional network composed of self-assembled, crosslinked or entangled gelator fibers …

Hydrogels can be formed by the self-assembly of certain small molecules in water. Self-
assembly occurs via non-covalent interactions. The self-assembly leads to the formation of …

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 …

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 …

Organogels are semi-solid systems, in which an organic liquid phase is immobilized by a
three-dimensional network composed of self-assembled, intertwined gelator fibers. Despite …
