Binary diamondoid molecular gels
We demonstrate the formation of gels composed of saturated carbon cage, diamondoid molecules that are rendered attractive through acid-base, non-covalent interactions (hydrogen bonding either with or without proton transfer). The gels are formed by mixing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions of …

Formation and mechanics of self-assembled molecular gels
Molecular gels are associated with the formation of space spanning structures produced by aggregation of low molecular weight molecules that associate through hydrogen bonding, π-stacking, acid base or van der Waals interactions. One specific type of gel forming molecule is based on a hydrophobic …

The principles of molecular gel formation
Molecular gels are associated with the formation of strongly anisotropic structures at low volume fractions (less than 1 wt%) that induce solid-like mechanical properties. Low molecular weight gelators based on aromatic short peptide derivatives have been shown to self-assemble into fibrous …

Studies on Sucralose-Based Low Molecular Weight Gelators
… fibers. The ones capable of subsequently forming gels are known as low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs). LMWGs usually form “polymer-like” fibers that interact to form a three-dimentional network known as a Self-Assembled Fibrillar Network (SAFIN), which entraps and immobilizes the entire solvent …

Sugar-Derived Oleogels in Cosmetics and Food Applications: a Case Study of Trehalose- and Mannitol-Based Gelators
<p>Gels represent an indispensable part of our everyday lives with direct applications in food, medicine, cosmetics and other industries. Amphiphilic molecules have been shown to act as low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) and are becoming the main focus of several research groups. Their ability …
