“…In particular, supramolecular gels gelled by low-molecular-weight compounds (gelators) [4][5][6][7] have attracted great attention, owing to their versatile application in many areas, such as controlled drug release, oil recovery, tissue engineering and so on [8]. During formation of the hydrogel, the gelator molecules self-assemble into nanoscale superstructures, such as fibers, rods, and ribbons through hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, van der Waals interactions, coordination and charge-transfer interactions.…”
