This resource presents the first volume to collect exciting recent work on the fusion of two topical fields of research: supramolecular chemistry and hybrid materials design. Topics covered include materials design, synthesis and characterization, supramolecular chemistry strategies and processes, signaling mechanisms and signal assessment, and applications in many diverse areas. Issues related to nanofabrication or nanotechnology such as "directed and controlled assembly or disassembly", biomimetic functions or "gated host-guest chemistry" are highlighted. This provides an important reference for supramolecular chemists, materials scientists, analytical chemists, and high-level students in these fields.
