• openAccess   Chemically Fueled Self-Sorted Hydrogels 

      Singh, Nishant; Lopez-Acosta, Alvaro; Formon, Georges Jacques Marie; Hermans, Thomas American Chemical Society (2022-01-12)
      Narcissistic self-sorting in supramolecular assemblies can help to construct materials with more complex hierarchies. Whereas controlled changes in pH or temperature have been used to this extent for two-component self-sorted ...
    • openAccess   Photoactive Hexanuclear Molybdenum Nanoclusters Embedded in Molecular Organogels 

      Arnau del Valle, Carla; Felip-León, Carles; Angulo-Pachón, César A.; Mikhailov, Maxim; Sokolov, Maxim; Miravet, Juan; Galindo, Francisco American Chemical Society (2019-07-05)
      Hexanuclear molybdenum clusters are attractive species because of their outstanding photonic properties, and in the past they have been attached to a variety of supports such as organic polymers and inorganic nanoparticles, ...
    • openAccess   Re-programming Hydrogel Properties Using a Fuel-Driven Reaction Cycle 

      Singh, Nishant; Lainer, Bruno; Formon, Georges Jacques Marie; De Piccoli, Serena; Hermans, Thomas American Chemical Society (2020-03-04)
      Nature uses catalysis as an indispensable tool to control assembly and reaction cycles in vital non-equilibrium supramolecular processes. For instance, enzymatic methionine oxidation regulates actin (dis-)assembly, and ...
    • closedAccess   Synthesis of a Double-Network Supramolecular Hydrogel by Having One Network Catalyse the Formation of the Second 

      Singh, Nishant; Maity, Chandan; Zhang, Kai; Angulo-Pachón, César A.; van Esch, Jan; Eelkema, Rienk; Escuder, Beatriu Wiley (2017-02-10)
      elf-assembly of biomolecules catalytically controls the formation of natural supramolecular structures, giving highly ordered complex materials. Such desirable hybrid systems are very difficult to design and construct ...
    • closedAccess   Tetrapeptidic Molecular Hydrogels: Self-assembly and Co-aggregation with Amyloid Fragment Aβ1-40 

      Tena Solsona, Marta; Miravet, Juan; Escuder, Beatriu WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA (2014-01)
      A new family of isomeric tetrapeptides containing aromatic and polar amino acid residues that are able to form molecular hydrogels following a smooth change in pH is described. The hydrogels have been studied by spectroscopic ...
