The essence of supramolecular assembly is how to construct dynamic nanostructures, eventually how to manipulate their physical properties triggered by external forces. Toward this research direction, we have explored small rigid-flexible block molecules to create novel self-assembling systems. The resulting self-assembled nanostructures are able to recognize external triggers by changing their shapes or their macroscopic properties. Examples include porous capsules with an open/close gating motion, planar sheets with a scrolling motion, smart nanofibers with sol-gel interconversion, and hollow tubules with a pulsating motion. Here I will present our recent achievements including their potential applications. Reference 1) Y. Kim, S. Shin, D. Lee, C. Seok, M. Lee Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 6424. 2) S. Shin, S. Lim, Y.
