Supramolecular Hydrogels based on Polyphenols

We explore small-sized polyphenols as supramolecular gelators of water-soluble polymers. These natural phenolic molecules are exciting building blocks found in many marine organism! Phenolic hydorgels can serve as reductant supports for preparing plasmonic nanocomposites.
