Popis: The hydrogel using natural and synthetic polymers to create a cross-linking network has drawn attention in diverse bioapplications. However, inhibition of bacterial infection is still a challenge for hydrogel's wide application. In this work, we reported a supramolecular hydrogel with a good antibacterial property built from conjugated molecules. The water-soluble molecular 4,7-bis[9,9-di(2-carboxy-ethyl)-fluoren-2-yl]-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (OFBTCOOH) physically linked with monomers via hydrophobic interaction. The free-radical polymerized poly(
