Abstract

Abstract : A hydrogel compartmentalization strategy is presented by J. H. van Esch et al. in their Communication onpage 14923 ff. This method exploits the incompatibility of aqueous polymer solutions for creating distinct aqueous microdomains within a supramolecular hydrogel network. By eliminating the need for hydrophobic barriers and allowing control over domain composition, this approach offers access to a new type of structured materials.
