Due to the remarkable sensitivity to external stimuli incorporated with biocompatible property, supramolecular hydrogel based on low-molecular-weight gelator has gained immense interests. This materials has many potential applications areas, such as smart gel, tissue engineering, etc. The design and preparation of low molecular weight organic gelators as well as understanding of the mechanism of the gelation process have attracted great attention recently and become the key point for supramolecular hydrogel. In this paper, basic concepts of supramolecular hydrogel are introduced firstly. The structural motifs and functions of the supramolecular hydrogels are reviewed in detail. Finally, the current research and perspective of supramolecular hydrogel are discussed.
