Multicomponent low molecular weight gelators.

چکیده
Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) self-assemble in solution into one-dimensional objects such as fibres or tapes. The entanglement of these fibres or tapes results in the formation of a network and a gel. In general, LMWG are investigated as single component systems. However, there are significant potential opportunities from mixed LMWG systems, which are rarely investigated. Here, we discuss the potential of multicomponent systems, and critically discuss the challenges.

Synthesis and characterization of pH responsive D-glucosamine based molecular gelators
Small molecular gelators are a class of compounds with potential applications for soft biomaterials. Low molecular weight hydrogelators are especially useful for exploring biomedical applications. Previously, we found that 4,6-O-benzylidene acetal protected D-glucose and D-glucosamine are well-suited as building blocks for the construction of low molecular weight gelators. To better understand ...
متن کاملDevelopment of low-molecular-weight gelators and polymer-based gelators
In this review, the development of low-molecular-weight gelators and polymer-based gelators is described. The driving forces for physical gelation are non-covalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, van der Waals interactions and p–p interactions. When gelation occurs, the gelator molecules self-assemble into macromolecule-like aggregates through non-covalent intermolecu...
متن کاملNonlinear Effects in Multicomponent Supramolecular Hydrogels.
Multicomponent low molecular weight gels are useful for a range of applications. However, when mixing two components, both of which can independently form a gel, there are many potential scenarios. There is a limited understanding as to how to control and direct the assembly. Here, we focus on a pH-triggered two-component system. At high pH, colloidal structures are formed, and there is a degre...

We report the synthesis and self-assembling properties of a new class of tripeptoids synthesized by a one-pot Ugi reaction from simple starting materials. Among the focused library of tripeptoids synthesized, several efficient low molecular weight gelators were obtained for aqueous DMSO and ethanol mixtures.
