Supramolecular self-assembly is the spontaneous association of organic molecules under equilibrium conditions, leading to the formation of sophisticated nanostructures joined by noncovalent bonds. It has accordingly been considered as an advanced strategy in noncovalent synthesis, with the potential of developing a variety of nanomaterials.
Supramolecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature, particularly in living systems, leading to the formation of innumerable biological complexes spatiotemporally regulated. Inspiring by the wisdom of nature, the novel methodologies, such as enzyme-catalyzed self-assembly and interfacial self-assembly, have been developed for the spatiotemporal control of supramolecular self-assembly. These methodologies facilitate the formation of nanomaterials with the spatiotemporal regulation, promising a variety of applications in cancer therapy, tissue engineering, cell encapsulation as well as providing research platforms for studying the origin of life.
