Abstract
Supramolecular polymers offer promising potential for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) advancing techniques. Current instrumental analyses face limitations in capturing instantaneous intracomplex motions due to temporal and spatial constraints. The molecular mechanism of supramolecular polymer transport behavior within nanoconfinement is not yet fully understood. Therefore, the self-assembly mechanism of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and adamantane (ADA)-modified supramolecular polymers (p-AA-β-CD-ADA) was delved into in this work. Further exploration focuses on the translocation dynamics of p-AA-β-CD-ADA within nanoconfinement under external driving forces. Results suggest that β-CD and ADA in p-AA-β-CD-ADA were assembled into nodes in the form of a host and a guest, combining with a "node-rebar-cement" interaction model encapsulating the formation mechanism of these supramolecular polymers. The heightened density of the hydrate layers at the nanoscale pore throats acts as a constraining factor, resulting in restricted mobility and altered dynamics of the supramolecular polymers. During passage through nanopore throats, host-guest molecules within the supramolecular polymer experience noncovalent dissociation. Notably, these supramolecular polymers exhibit remarkable self-healing capabilities, reinstating their assembly state upon traversing pore throats. This work provides a molecular-level comprehension of the potential utility of supramolecular polymers in EOR processes, offering valuable information for the molecular design of polymers employed for EOR in low-permeability reservoirs.

Abstract
A new series of nonionic gemini amphiphiles have been synthesized in a multi-step chemoenzymatic approach by using a novel A2 B2 -type central core consisting of conjugating glycerol and propargyl bromide on 5-hydroxy isophthalic acid. A pair of hydrophilic monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) and hydrophobic linear alkyl chains (C12 /C15 ) were then added to the core to obtain amphiphilic architectures. The aggregation tendency in aqueous media was studied by dynamic light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. The nanotransport potential of the amphiphiles was studied for model hydrophobic guests, that is, the dye Nile Red and the drug Nimodipine by using UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Evaluation of the viability of amphiphile-treated A549 cells showed them to be well tolerated up to the concentrations studied. Being ester based, these amphiphiles exhibit stimuli-responsive sensitivity towards esterases, and a rupture of amphiphilic architecture was observed in the presence of immobilized Candida antarctica lipase (Novozym 435), thus facilitating release of the encapsulated guest from the aggregate.

Abstract
![]()
Supramolecular fibers
in water, micrometers long and several nanometers
in width, are among the most studied nanostructures for biomedical
applications. These supramolecular polymers are formed through a spontaneous
self-assembly process of small amphiphilic molecules by specific secondary
interactions. Although many compounds do not possess a stereocenter,
recent studies suggest the (co)existence of helical structures, albeit
in racemic form. Here, we disclose a series of supramolecular (co)polymers
based on water-soluble benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) that form
double helices, fibers that were long thought to be chains of single
molecules stacked in one dimension (1D). Detailed cryogenic transmission
electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) studies and subsequent three-dimensional-volume
reconstructions unveiled helical repeats, ranging from 15 to 30 nm.
Most remarkable, the pitch can be tuned through the composition of
the copolymers, where two different monomers with the same core but
different peripheries are mixed in various ratios. Like in lipid bilayers,
the hydrophobic shielding in the aggregates of these disc-shaped molecules
is proposed to be best obtained by dimer formation, promoting supramolecular
double helices. It is anticipated that many of the supramolecular
polymers in water will have a thermodynamic stable structure, such
as a double helix, although small structural changes can yield single
stacks as well. Hence, it is essential to perform detailed analyses
prior to sketching a molecular picture of these 1D fibers.

Abstract
Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such as carbon and other inorganic nanotubes. To date, diverse self-assembly processes and elaborate template procedures using rationally designed organic molecules have produced suitable tubular architectures with definite dimensions, structural complexity, and hierarchy for expected functions and applications. Herein, we comprehensively discuss every functions and possible applications of a wide range of SMNTs as bulk materials or single components. This Review highlights valuable contributions mainly in the past decade. Fifteen different families of SMNTs are discussed from the viewpoints of chemical, physical, biological, and medical applications, as well as action fields (e.g., interior, wall, exterior, whole structure, and ensemble of nanotubes). Chemical applications of the SMNTs are associated with encapsulating materials and sensors. SMNTs also behave, while sometimes undergoing morphological transformation, as a catalyst, template, liquid crystal, hydro-/organogel, superhydrophobic surface, and micron size engine. Physical functions pertain to ferro-/piezoelectricity and energy migration/storage, leading to the applications to electrodes or supercapacitors, and mechanical reinforcement. Biological functions involve artificial chaperone, transmembrane transport, nanochannels, and channel reactors. Finally, medical functions range over drug delivery, nonviral gene transfer vector, and virus trap.

Abstract
Herein, a new series of non-ionic dendritic and carbohydrate based amphiphiles is synthesized employing biocompatible starting materials and studied for supramolecular aggregate formation in aqueous solution. The dendritic amphiphiles 12 and 13 possessing poly(glycerol) [G2.0] as hydrophilic unit and C-10 and C-18 hydrophobic alkyl chains, respectively, exhibit low critical aggregation concentration (CAC) in the order of 10-5 m and hydrodynamic diameters in the 8-10 nm range and supplemented by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy suggests the effective solubilization of hydrophobic guests by the self-assembled architectures, with the nanotransporters 12 and 13 possessing the highest encapsulation efficiency of 80.74 and 98.03% for curcumin. Efficient uptake of encapsulated curcumin in adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells is observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Amphiphiles 12 and 13 are non-cytotoxic at the concentrations studied, however, curcumin encapsulated samples efficiently reduce the viability of A549 cells in vitro. Experimental studies indicate the ability of amphiphile 13 to encapsulate 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS) and curcumin with binding constant of 1.16 × 1055 m-1 and 1.43 × 106 m-1 , respectively. Overall, our findings demonstrate the potential of these dendritic amphiphiles for the development of prospective nanocarriers for the solubilization of hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
Tubular structures built from amphiphilic molecules are of interest for nano-sensing, drug delivery, and structuring of oils. In this study, we characterized the tubules built in aqueous suspensions of a cholesteryl nucleoside conjugate, cholesterylaminouridine (CholAU) and phosphatidylcholines (PCs). In mixtures with unsaturated PCs having chain lengths comparable to the length of CholAU, two different types of tubular structures were observed; nano- and micro-tubules had average diameters in the ranges 50-300 nm and 2-3 μm, respectively. Using cryo scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) we found that nano- and micro-tubules differed in their morphology: the nano-tubules were densely packed, whereas micro-tubules consisted of loosely rolled undulated lamellas. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the nano-tubules were built from 4 to 5 nm thick CholAU-rich bilayers, which were in the crystalline state. Solid-state (2)H NMR spectroscopy also confirmed that about 25% of the total CholAU, being about the fraction of CholAU composing the tubules, formed the rigid crystalline phase. We found that CholAU/PC tubules can be functionalized by molecules inserted into lipid bilayers and fluorescently labeled PCs and lipophilic nucleic acids inserted spontaneously into the outer layer of the tubules. The tubular structures could be loaded and cross-linked, e.g. by DNA hybrids, and, therefore, are of interest for further development, e.g. as a depot scaffold for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Advancements in optical nanosensor development have enabled the design of sensors using syntheticmolecular recognition elements through a recently developed method called Corona Phase MolecularRecognition (CoPhMoRe). The synthetic sensors resulting from these design principles are highly selective for specific analytes, and demonstrate remarkable stability for use under a variety of conditions. An essential element of nanosensor development hinges on the ability to understand the interface between nanoparticles and the associated corona phase surrounding the nanosensor, an environment outside of the range of traditional characterization tools, such as NMR. This review discusses the need for new strategies and instrumentation to study the nanoparticle corona, operating in both in vitro and in vivo environments. Approaches to instrumentation must have the capacity to concurrently monitor nanosensor operation and the molecular changes in the corona phase. A detailed overview of new tools for the understanding of CoPhMoRe mechanisms is provided for future applications.
