چکیده
Supramolecular hydrogels are generated when gelator molecules (or macromolecules) spontaneously self-assemble to form a 3D solid-like network via dynamic intermolecular non-covalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals interactions. Here, the interactions that underlie formation of supramolecular presented, before exemplifying their versatility by highlighting selection recent state-of-the-art developments associated biomedical applications. The applications selected include drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing bioprinting. More information can be found in Review Xian Jun Loh, Cécile A. Dreiss, Tung-Chun Lee et al.
