Photoresponsive supramolecular polymers are well‐organized assemblies based on highly
oriented and reversible noncovalent interactions containing photosensitive molecules as (co …

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 …

Incorporating molecular photoswitches into various materials provides unique opportunities
for controlling their properties and functions with high spatiotemporal resolution using …

Azobenzene is a well‐known derivative of stimulus‐responsive molecular switches and has
shown superior performance as a functional material in biomedical applications. The results …

Supramolecular gels assemble via non-covalent interactions between low-molecular-weight
gelators (LMWGs). The gels form a solid-like nanoscale network spanning a liquid-like …

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 …

Advances in the field of supramolecular chemistry have made it possible, in many situations,
to reliably engineer soft materials to address a specific technological problem. Particularly …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

The development of solid materials that can be reversibly interconverted by light between
forms with different physico-chemical properties is of great interest for separation, catalysis …

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 …
