Front Cover: Supramolecular Hydrogels: Design Strategies and Contemporary Biomedical Applications (Chem. Asian J. 9/2022)

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 bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals interactions. Here, the interactions that underlie the formation of supramolecular hydrogels are presented, before exemplifying their versatility by highlighting a selection of recent state‐of‐the‐art developments and their associated biomedical applications. The applications selected include drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing and 3D bioprinting. More information can be found in the Review by Xian Jun Loh, Cécile A.
