Nanoengineered Peptide‐Based Antimicrobial Conductive Supramolecular Biomaterial for Cardiac Tissue Engineering

“…[ 9 ] Short‐peptide‐based hydrogels are of particular importance in this aspect, due to their intrinsic biocompatibility, high water content and excellent hydrogelation propensity resulting from the unidirectional amide H‐bonding. [ 10–19 ] Moreover, peptide hydrogels possess immense potential for mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) owing to the ability to introduce bioactive ligands and enzyme‐cleavable sequences by simple physical mixing. [ 20 ] Due to these attributes, short‐peptide‐based hydrogels have been meticulously utilized to develop supramolecular biomaterials for different biotechnological applications.…”

Emissive organogel mediated construction of a flexible covalent organic polymer for the separation of aniline for water purification

“…On the other hand, it is a challenging task to evaluate the nature of covalent dynamic gels despite their various applications in catalysis, sensors and adsorbent materials. [7][8][9][10] Recently, covalent organic polymers (COPs) [11][12] have received considerable importance in membrane technologies due to their selective molecular adsorption and separation properties. [13][14][15][16][17][18] The characteristics of COPs can be altered at the atomic level by modifying the synthetic procedures and suitable monomers.…”

Metal Cation Triggered Peptide Hydrogels and Their Application in Food Freshness Monitoring and Dye Adsorption

“…Hydrogels and xerogels possess two intrinsic features that make them good candidates to be used as adsorbent materials for water remediation: a porous network and functional groups that can interact with guest molecules [ 79 ]. Consequently, peptide supramolecular gels have been extensively used as dye adsorption materials [ 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 ]. The use of peptide metallogels as dye adsorbents is almost unexplored, but in principle their superior mechanical properties should play a positive role.…”
