Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels, formed via intermolecular interactions in water, are emerging as a new type of versatile soft materials to be applied in many areas, such as biomedical applications, catalysis, food additives, and cosmetics. While most of the supramolecular hydrogels are homotypic (i.e., one type of building blocks), heterotypic supramolecular hydrogels are less explored, but may offer unique advantages. This review discribes supramolecular hydrogels that consist of more than one type building blocks (i.e., heterotypic) to illustrate the promises and challenges of heterotypic supramolecular hydrogels as soft biomaterials. First, we discuss the driving force for producing heterotypic supramolecular hydrogels. Second, we introduce the general methods for triggering heterotypic supramolecular hydrogels. Third, we summarize the examples of heterotypic supramolecular hydrogels made of hydrogelators with or without containing amino acid residues. Fourth, we describe the applications of heterotypic supramolecular hydrogels up-to-date. Finally, we give the outlook and propose a few future directions that likely worth to be explored.

Abstract
A novel three-component supramolecular hydrogel based on riboflavin, melamine and amino acid derivatives were constructed for controlled release of pesticides, Niclosamide derivatives. The formation of hydrogel may be attributed to self-assemble via hydrogen bonding and π–π interaction, which have been researched via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The rheological experiments showed that the hydrogel materials and drug-loaded hydrogel all demonstrated good mechanical strength and high stability. Further experimental results indicated that the drug-loaded hydrogels show large drug loadings, long-term release time and relatively higher efficiency to anti-cercariae in the water environment.

Abstract
In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the applications of supramolecular hydrogels/hydrogelators as molecular biomaterials. After a brief introduction of methods for generating supramolecular hydrogels, we discuss supramolecular hydrogelators on the basis of their categories, such as small organic molecules, coordination complexes, peptides, nucleobases, and saccharides. Following molecular design, we focus on various potential applications of supramolecular hydrogels as molecular biomaterials, classified by their applications in cell cultures, tissue engineering, cell behavior, imaging, and unique applications of hydrogelators. Particularly, we discuss the applications of supramolecular hydrogelators after they form supramolecular assemblies but prior to reaching the critical gelation concentration because this subject is less explored but may hold equally great promise for helping address fundamental questions about the mechanisms or the consequences of the self-assembly of molecules, including low molecular weight ones. Finally, we provide a perspective on supramolecular hydrogelators. We hope that this review will serve as an updated introduction and reference for researchers who are interested in exploring supramolecular hydrogelators as molecular biomaterials for addressing the societal needs at various frontiers.

Abstract
Inspired by delicate structures and multiple functions of natural multiple enzyme architectures such as peroxisomes, we constructed an artificial multiple enzyme system by coencapsulation of glucose oxidases (GOx) and artificial peroxidases in a supramolecular hydrogel. The artificial peroxidase was a functional complex micelle, which was prepared by the self-assembly of diblock copolymer and hemin. Compared with catalase or horseradish peroxidase (HRP), the functional micelle exhibited comparable activity and better stability, which provided more advantages in constructing a multienzyme with a proper oxidase. The hydrogel containing the two catalytic centers was further used as a catalyst for green oxidation of glucose, which was a typical cascade reaction. Glucose was oxidized by oxygen (O2) via the GOx-mediated reaction, producing toxic intermediate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The produced H2O2 further oxidized peroxidase substrates catalyzed by hemin-micelles. By regulating the diffusion modes of the enzymes and substrates, the artificial multienzyme based on hydrogel could successfully activate the cascade reaction, which the soluble enzyme mixture could not achieve. The hydrogel, just like a protective covering, protected oxidases and micelles from inactivation via toxic intermediates and environmental changes. The artificial multienzyme could efficiently achieve the oxidation task along with effectively eliminating the toxic intermediates. In this way, this system possesses great potentials for glucose detection and green oxidation of a series of substrates related to biological processes.

Abstract
In this study, unique luminescent gels have been obtained from two components between amino acid functionalized perylene derivatives and 4,4'-bipyridyl units via hierarchical self-assembly. The luminescent gels have been investigated by means of ultraviolet spectra (UV), fluorescence spectra, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM), which illustrate the strong fluorescence intensity of the gels. In order to further reveal the self-assembly driving forces, the two-dimensional (2D) self-assembly behaviours have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate at the solid-liquid interface, which indicates that the driving forces are attributed to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions. According to the interaction mode, these organogelators are found to rapidly transform from gels to solutions by adding triethylamine.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between molecular chirality of the gelators and the properties of the assembled supramolecular gels could be very important for developing novel functional soft matters. Although mixing the enantiomers with different molar ratios has been proved to be useful for modulating supramolecular assemblies, usually the racemates of different chiral molecules are not good gelators. In this study, the coassembly of the glutamic acid-based bolaamphiphile racemate and melamine was found to form hydrogels, while the assembly of the racemate only produced precipitates. Remarkably, the racemic hydrogels show lower CGC value, enhanced mechanical rigidity, and dual pH-responsive ability compared to the pure enantiomer hydrogels. The gelation properties, nanoscale chirality, and nanostructures of the racemic hydrogels can be regulated flexibly by changing molar ratios of different molecular building blocks.

Abstract
An equimolar mixture of riboflavin-5′-phosphate sodium salt (RP) and adenine (AD) dissolved in a phosphate buffer (pH 4.0, 1.0% w/v) produces a red coloured transparent thixotropic hydrogel at 30 °C. The gelation of the RPAD system occurs in the pH range of 2–5. FTIR spectra and WAXS patterns indicate self-assembly via H-bonding between the >C=O group of RP and the amino/imino group of AD followed by supramolecular organization through a π-stacking process producing a fibrillar network structure. FESEM images clearly indicate that the nanofibres are produced from the intertwining of helical fibrils. The dynamic frequency sweep experiment of the supramolecular gel at a constant strain of 1% exhibits a wide linear viscoelastic region and a considerably higher G′ value (460 Pa) than that of G′′ (21 Pa) confirming the gel nature of the RPAD system. The hydrogel shows high stiffness (G′/G′′ = 3.3), a high yield stress (σ*) (79.5 Pa) and a moderate critical strain (γ = 17.5%). Time sweep experiments at both low (0.1%) and high strain (100%) indicate the thixotropic property of the gel. The RPAD hydrogel shows non-Newtonian viscosity in the shear rate region (0.1–158 s(−1)) and after that there is a sudden fall of viscosity. The gel melting point obtained by the falling ball method is 6° higher than that obtained by the DSC method probably due to the presence of the thixotropic property of the gel. The UV-vis spectra indicate a red shift of the π–π* transition band of RP in the RPAD xerogel. On excitation of the RPAD hydrogel at 373 nm it shows twelve times enhancement of emission intensity with a 7 nm red shift of the emission peak. This has been attributed to the enhancement of lifetime from 2.2 ns in RP to 3.4 ns in the RPAD hydrogel. With increase of temperature, the fluorescence intensity of the RPAD hydrogel at first increases till 40 °C, then decreases up to 55 °C and it again increases after 60 °C.

Abstract
We report on the use of a phosphatase to assist the formation of leaf-like structures and a supramolecular hydrogel with an ultra-low minimum gelation concentration. The compound can gel water at a minimum gelation concentration of 0.01 wt%, which is the lowest gelation concentration reported up to now. The images obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveal the existence of leaf-like structures serving as the matrix of the hydrogels. The stability of the hydrogels was studied and emission spectra were used to get information about the molecular packing in the leaf-like structures. Since lowering the concentration of the gelator decreases the toxicity of the resulting hydrogels, ultra-low concentration gels have potential uses as biocompatible biomaterials for, e.g., cell cultures, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.

Abstract
A new two-component hydrogel of melamine and gallic acid is reported for three different compositions of the components. Optical and scanning electron microscopy indicate the fibrillar network structure of the gel, and the DSC study indicates a reversible first-order phase transition in the system. The storage modulus (G') versus frequency plot is linear and invariant at 35 and 50 degrees C but not at 70 degrees C, where it is in the sol state. The theological melting point of 58 degrees C is close to the gel melting point obtained from DSC. The system shows a strong influence of pH on gelation. An FTIR study indicates H-bond formation between the > C=O group of gallic acid and the -NH2 group of melamine. 1H NMR spectra indicate the presence of pi-pi stacking in the gel. The UV-vis peak positions of gallic acid remain unaffected during complexation; however, the normalized absorption intensity is higher in the GM13 sol compared to that of other complexes. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the gels are interesting, showing a two-order increase in intensity in the gel state compared to that in the sol state. Three different structures of the complexes are proposed for the three different compositions of the components.
