Injectable supramolecular hydrogels for insulin delivery
… modulating the release of insulin. We have used supramolecular hydrogels created from cyclodextrin-adamantane mediated dynamic crosslinking of hyaluronic acid and show that these hydrogels can form an injectable depot in vivo. We further demonstrate that by changing the molecular weight and …

Supramolecular hydrogels based on 1,3,5‐benzene tricarboxamides
… systems to elucidate their potential to form supramolecular hydrogels. The thesis covers four main subjects: i) the self-assembly behavior of pH-sensitive BTAs in aqueous systems is investigated with regard to their ability to form nano-fiber networks and supramolecular hydrogels; ii) the …

Dynamic supramolecular hydrogels with adaptive biological functionality
… part of this thesis, we demonstrate a facile supramolecular approach for the formation of functionalized nanofibers by combining the advantages of biocatalytic self-assembly and surfactant/gelator co-assembly. This is achieved by enzymatically triggered reconfiguration of free flowing micellar …

Functional Supramolecular Hydrogels Mediated by Host-Guest Chemistry
Hydrogels mediated by host-guest interactions represent a compelling class of materials with a myriad of promising applications including medical devices, wearable electronics and even for use as a strong adhesive. Several high-impact applications involving cyclodextrin (CD) mediated hydrogels have …

Enhancing Chondrocyte Biosynthetic Activities: Harnessing the Power of Loading-Induced Evolved Temperature
… bioreactor and chondrocyte-laden hydrogels (specifically, single network covalent-based hydrogels) under controlled conditions, we further elucidate this complex relationship. Our findings challenge the traditional paradigm of solely focusing on mechanical attributes in cartilage, …
