• openAccess   Biomimetic self-assembly of tetrapeptides into fibrillar networks and organogels 

      Iqbal, Sajid; Miravet, Juan; Escuder, Beatriu WILEY-VCH (2008)
      The self-assembly features of a family of tetrapeptides inspired in silk structure are presented. An exhaustive study of the influence of the terminal alkyl chain length in this process is undertaken. Scanning electron ...
    • closedAccess   Dynamic Peptide Library for the Discovery of Charge Transfer Hydrogels 

      Berdugo Gumbau, Cristina; Nalluri, Siva Krishna Mohan; Javid, Nadeem; Escuder, Beatriu; Miravet, Juan; Ulijn, R. V. ACS Publications (2015)
      Coupling of peptide self-assembly to dynamic sequence exchange provides a useful approach for the discovery of self-assembling materials. In here, we demonstrate the discovery and optimization of aqueous, gel-phase ...
    • closedAccess   In situ synthesis-gelation at room temperature vs. heating–cooling procedure. Fine tuning of molecular gels derived from succinic acid and L-valine 

      Fontanillo, Miriam; Angulo-Pachón, César A.; Escuder, Beatriu; Miravet, Juan Elsevier (2013-12)
      Hypothesis The reaction between succinic anhydride and a diamine derived from L-valine should afford efficiently a molecular gelator. Based on this reaction, it should be feasible to prepare molecular gels at room ...
    • closedAccess   pH-Tunable Hydrogelators for Water Purification: Structural Optimisation and Evaluation 

      Greenland, Barnaby W.; Wood, Daniel M.; Acton, Aaron L.; Rodríguez Llansola, Francisco; Murray, Claire A.; Cardin, Christine J.; Miravet, Juan; Escuder, Beatriu; Hamley, Ian W.; Hayes, Wayne Wiley (2012-02)
      A focused library of potential hydrogelators each containing two substituted aromatic residues separated by a urea or thiourea linkage have been synthesised and characterized. Six of these novel compounds are highly efficient ...
    • closedAccess   Self-Assembly Studies of a Chiral Bisurea-Based Superhydrogelator 

      Rodríguez Llansola, Francisco; Hermida Merino, Daniel; Nieto Ortega, Belén; Ramírez, Francisco J.; López Navarrete, Juan T.; Casado, Juan; Hamley, Ian W.; Escuder, Beatriu; Hayes, Wayne; Miravet, Juan Wiley (2012-11)
      A chiral bisurea-based superhydrogelator that is capable of forming supramolecular hydrogels at concentrations as low as 0.2 mM is reported. This soft material has been characterized by thermal studies, rheology, X-ray ...
    • closedAccess   Supramolecular hydrogels for enzymatically triggered self-immolative drug delivery 

      Sáez, José A.; Escuder, Beatriu; Miravet, Juan Elsevier (2010)
      For the first time the combination of self-immolative spacers and supramolecular hydrogels has been tested in enzyme triggered drug release. Low-molecular weight drug-gelator conjugates have been prepared, which contain a ...
    • closedAccess   Tripodal amphiphilic pseudopeptidic nanovesicles as p-coumaric acid delivery systems for brain cancer cells 

      Lotfallah, Ahmed H.; Andreu Olaria, José Juan; Hathout, R.M.; Kassem, D.H.; Ibrahim, S.S.; Altava, Belen; Garcia-Verdugo, Eduardo; Luis, Santiago V. Elsevier (2022-11)
      Nanovesicles based on tripodal amphiphilic pseudopeptides are prepared as carriers for p-coumaric acid (p-CA) delivery. Loaded nanovesicles are obtained by both thin film hydration and ethanol injection methods with ...
