Adaptable hydrogels have recently emerged as a promising platform for three‐dimensional
(3D) cell encapsulation and culture. In conventional, covalently crosslinked hydrogels …

Conspectus Cyclodextrins (CDs) have many attractive functions, including molecular
recognition, hydrolysis, catalysis, and polymerization. One of the most important uses of CDs …

The supramolecular crosslinking of polymer chains in water by specific, directional and
dynamic non-covalent interactions has led to the development of novel supramolecular …

Hydrogels are ubiquitous in nature, especially in living organisms.[1] Synthetic hydrogels
are used, for example, for tissue engineering, drug delivery systems (DDS), and medical …

Hydrogel biomaterials are pervasive in biomedical use. Applications of these soft materials
range from contact lenses to drug depots to scaffolds for transplanted cells. A subset of …

Novel nanocomposites of β-cyclodextrin/poly (acrylic acid) grafted onto graphene oxide (β-
CD/PAA/GO) were successfully synthesized for the first time using an esterification reaction …

Hydrogels and organogels are semi-solid systems, in which a liquid phase is immobilized by
a three-dimensional network composed of self-assembled, intertwined polymer/gelator …

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a biophysical technique for measuring the formation
and dissociation of molecular complexes and has become an invaluable tool in many …

Dye wastewater is one of the most important problems to be faced and solved in wastewater
treatment. However, the treatment cannot be single and simple adsorption due to the …

Here we show the preparation of a series of water‐based physically cross‐linked polymeric
materials utilizing cucurbit [8] uril (CB [8]) ternary complexes displaying a range of binding …
