Abstract

One of the main challenges in chemistry is the preparation of well-defined self-assembled supramolecular architectures with dynamic and adaptive properties that emulate biological systems. Numerous reports have demonstrated that sophisticated stimuli-responsive materials and surfaces can be assembled by the careful combination of orthogonal interactions.[1] In this context, the molecular recognition and interaction of bilayer vesicles ...
