In recent years, computational methods have become an essential element of studies focusing on the self-assembly process. Although they provide unique insights, they face challenges, from which two are the most often mentioned in the literature: the temporal and spatial scale of ...
Here, transient supramolecular hydrogels that are formed through simple aging-induced seeded self-assembly of molecular gelators are reported. In the involved molecular self-assembly system, multicomponent gelators are formed from a mixture of precursor molecules and, typically, ...
Reported here is a 2D, interfacial microcompartmentalization strategy governed by 3D phase separation. In aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions doped with biotinylated polymers, the polymers spontaneously accumulate in the interfacial layer between the oil-surfactant-water ...
Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations are employed to obtain a detailed view of the formation of long-range ordered lamellar structures of physisorbed self-assembling long functionalized alkanes on graphite. During the self-assembly, two processes take place: Langmuir pre ...
In this thesis, we explore the application of various molecular simulations techniques to give insights into the self-assembly of supramolecular systems. Chapter 1 explains the importance of molecular simulation to study the selfassembly process. In chapter 2 we study self-assemb ...
Ostwald ripening can improve the long-range order of self-assembled monolayers by the growth of large domains and disassembly of smaller ones. Here, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the dynamics of the stable assembly and the coarsening of defects o ...
We report on the biocatalytic activation of a self-assembling (unprotected) tripeptide to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions on-demand. This is achieved by the conversion of a phosphorylated precursor into a hydrogelator using alkaline phosphatase (AP) as the trigger. The rate of c ...
