title: Self-assembly of pyridinium-tailored anthracene amphiphiles into supramolecular hydrogels.
abstract: The mixing of a polyacid cross-linker with a pyridinium-functionalized anthracene amphiphile afforded a supramolecular hydrogel through a self-assembly process that was primarily driven by π-stacking and electrostatic interactions.
