Abstract
This paper describes recent advances in the fields of unnatural supramolecular materials that are able to show polymer and/or gel properties by association through multiple weak, noncovalent bonds. The field is reviewed with a particular eye on materials science aspects, and on substrates which seem to hold promise for future applications. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
