Steering Phase-separated Droplets to Control Mechanical Properties of Supramolecular Peptide Hydrogels

The formation of structurally distinct droplets, pre-fibrils, and fibrillar network evolution is discerned under different thermal histories. This key process is suggestive of liquid-liquid phase separation, in which phase transition occurs withi...
