Smart micro- and nanostructures: dual role as molecule sensors and vehicles

Micro- and nanostructured materials, which can also be conveyed in hydrogels, that are designed to recognize, deliver, and retain through spontaneous “supramolecular” interactions molecules from aqueous dispersion or solution. Tailored engineering declining their application from sensors or agents for pesticides water remediation to the treatment of diseases.
