Social networking: A variety of novel multicompartment nanostructures has been easily formed by combining the supramolecular aggregative properties of surfactants with low-molecular-weight hydrogelators that are based on 1,3,5-cyclohexyltricarboxamide (see picture, AA=amino acid). The resulting structures include self-assembled interpenetrating networks.
