On the syneresis of an OPV functionalised dipeptide hydrogel.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a new dipeptide hydrogel based on an oligophenylene vinylene core. After gelation, the initial network evolves, expelling solvent and resulting in syneresis. We describe this process and the effects in the bulk properties of the material.

Highly selective recognition of acetate and bicarbonate by thiourea-functionalised inverse opal hydrogel in aqueous solution.
We have synthesised an inverse opal hydrogel functionalised with a thiourea moiety as an anion recognition site. The resulting hydrogel showed remarkable changes of its structural colour with respect to acetate and bicarbonate ions selectively in aqueous solution, indicating a potential as colorimetric sensing materials for hydrophilic anions.

متن کاملLinking micellar structures to hydrogelation for salt-triggered dipeptide gelators.
Some functionalised dipeptides can form hydrogels when salts are added to solutions at high pH. We have used surface tension, conductivity, rheology, optical, confocal and scanning electron microscopy, (1)H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements to characterise fully the phase behaviour of solutions of one specific gelator, 2NapFF, at 25 °C at pH 10.5. We show that this specific naphthalene-d...
متن کاملOrotic acid as a useful supramolecular synthon for the fabrication of an OPV based hydrogel: stoichiometry dependent injectable behavior.
A facile hydrogelation of a p-pyridylenevinylene derivative (PV) bearing oxyethylene chains in the presence of orotic acid (OA) occurs via various non-covalent interactions. Depending on the PV : OA molar ratio, the hydrogel shows vesicle to either cluster-type aggregate or fiber transformation. Visual color tuning, stimuli-responsiveness and injectable properties of the hydrogel are also obser...
متن کاملA Theoretical Charge Density Investigation on Histidine-Histidine Dipeptide in Gas Phase
In the present work, an extensive theoretical calculation study on Histidine-Histidine dipeptide in gas phase is done by using DFT method with Gaussian 98 program. Through investigations on the molecular geometries of this molecule it is found that there is six rings in the molecules not two rings. The presence of four intramolecular hydrogen bonds is responsible for the formation of additional...
