Although the importance of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials has been widely recognized, the CPL responses of supramolecular gels are still rarely studied. Moreover, developing CPL materials based on supramolecular gels is of great significance, due to their special advantages and important applications. Herein, we report the first circularly polarized supramolecular gels self-a...

BACKGROUND Hematoma expansion is associated with poor outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The spot sign and the blend sign are reliable tools for predicting hematoma expansion in ICH patients. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the two signs in the prediction of hematoma expansion. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with spontaneous ICH were screened for the presenc...

Abstract Supramolecular chemistry is one of the current strategies for producing advanced materials. With aim to develop new Thin-Films with antibacterial activity, we embedded an amphiphilic choline-calix[4]arene possessing properties in polymeric based on polyether-co-amide matrix (Pebax ® 2533). The loading calix[4]arene derivative film was performed by solution casting. amount calixarene ad...

What do we mean by a “supramolecular control” of a photochemical reaction? To answer this question, we will integrate the fundamental and familiar paradigm of molecular organic photochemistry (e.g., the R + hν → ∗R → I → P sequence) with the paradigm of supramolecular organic chemistry (guest@host chemistry). It will be convenient to consider supramolecular control of unimolecular and bimolecul...

Supramolecular nanostructures covered with bioactive functional molecules have been actively explored as promising materials in the field of biotechnology. Recent advances in nano-sized chemistry have made it possible to fabricate various kinds of nanostructures with tailor-made nanostructural properties. This, combined with appropriate bioactive functionalization, has led to the successful uti...

backgrounds and objectives: in recent years, food industries and scientists are about to decrease the energy intake of food products according to the rising rate in obesity and the problems of consuming high-caloric products. considering all the benefits the sucrose possess as a natural sweetener, due to some health issues such as, high blood pressure, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, tooth de...

We describe a method to generate blend surfaces which t with continuous curvature to the primary surfaces. This blend surface is obtained as the bicubic tensor spline minimizing a variational problem. Among all the bicubic tensor splines which give a curvature continuous blend surface, the one is chosen which minimizes a bilinear functional. In Section 2 we summarize and extend the results of a...

Differential sensing using synthetic receptors as mimics of the mammalian senses of taste and smell is a powerful approach for the analysis of complex mixtures. Herein, we report on the effectiveness of a cross-reactive, supramolecular, peptide-based sensing array in differentiating and predicting the composition of red wine blends. Fifteen blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Fran...

The synthesis, characterization and functionalization of DNA-grafted supramolecular polymers are described. Cargo loading of the helical supramolecular assemblies with gold nanoparticles is demonstrated.
