Molecular self-assembly and patterning induced by sound waves. The case of gelation
Abstract
Recent findings evidence that cavitational and mechanical effects of ultrasound waves trigger molecular assembly and pattern formation, exemplified by organogels and ordered structures. Although sonication-assisted aggregation has become a well-established protocol, the science behind it is often overlooked. In this tutorial review various aspects of ultrasound-driven reactions are introduced, highlighting organic and metal coordination compounds, as well as recent applications focused on polymer structures. Given the importance of supramolecular assemblies, especially hydrogels, as biomaterials and vehicles for drug transport and delivery, sound waves thus provide a facile entry to new forms of soft matter and functionalized materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
