Functional π-Gelators and Their Applications
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymeric materials.
TL;DR: This critical review of recent developments in supramolecular polymeric materials is addressed, which can respond to appropriate external stimuli at the fundamental level due to the existence of noncovalent interactions of the building blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox-responsive self-healing materials formed from host–guest polymers
TL;DR: The formation of supramolecular hydrogels and their redox-responsive and self-healing properties due to host–guest interactions are reported and cyclodextrin is employed as a host molecule because it is environmentally benign and has diverse applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular polymeric hydrogels
TL;DR: A critical review summarising the formation of dynamic polymeric networks through specific non-covalent interactions, with a particular emphasis on those systems based on host-guest complex formation, as well as the characterisation of their physical characteristics.
Book ChapterDOI
Cyclodextrin-based molecular machines
TL;DR: Attempts to design and synthesize molecular-level machines using cyclodextrins as a cyclic component of molecular shuttles, motors, and machines are described.

TL;DR: The fabrication of active hydrogel components inside microchannels via direct photopatterning of a liquid phase greatly simplifies system construction and assembly as the functional components are fabricated in situ, and the stimuli-responsive hydrogels components perform both sensing and actuation functions.

Supramolecular gels: Functions and uses
TL;DR: This tutorial review highlights some of the instructive work done by various groups to develop smart and functional gels, and covers a wide spectrum of scientific interest ranging from medicine to materials science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-induced shape-memory polymers
TL;DR: Polymers containing cinnamic groups can be deformed and fixed into pre-determined shapes—such as elongated films and tubes, arches or spirals—by ultraviolet light illumination and can recover their original shape at ambient temperatures when exposed to ultraviolet light of a different wavelength.
