AB Since the beginning of humankind, chemistry has beenessential to overcome societal needs and de iciencies. Over thelast years, supramolecular materials have shown potentialapplications in medicine and material science. In this sense,self-assembling cyclic peptide nanotubes stand out as molecularscaffolds since they allow an exquisite bottom-up control overthe inal properties. In this work, cyclic peptides functionalizedwith aromatic moieties are exploited to obtain novel functionalmaterials such as self-healing hydrogels or self-reportingnanosheets. Their characterization demonstrates thatfunctionalization and assembling triggers are key in thehierarchical assembling process. Finally, preliminary studiesindicate potential use of these unique materials as cytoskeletonmimicking systems or catalysts.
