چکیده

The first molecule that assembles by ultrasound is described. An association-inert dinuclear Pd complex, anti-1a, which is stabilized by intramolecular pi-stacking interactions, gelatinizes a variety of organic solvents instantly upon brief presonication for a few seconds. This is the first quick, positive, and reversible method for the remote switching of stable sol-gel phases. Uniquely, the rate can be precisely controlled over the range between "no gelation" and "instant gelation" simply by tuning the sonication time.

Development 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...

Effect of Formulation Variables on Rifampicin Loaded Alginate Beads

The present work investigated the preparation of biodegradable beads with alginate polymer by ionotropic gelation method to improve the control release properties of the antibiotic rifampicin. Ionotropic gelation method was applied to prepare beads using calcium chloride (CaCl2) as cationic component and alginate as an anionic component. In this method, adding 0.5% w/v polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) t...

Investigating the Effect of Polythin and Polydrill on the Properties of Drilling Fluids

In this study, synthetic sulfonated polymers were used in order to enhance the rheological properties of drilling fluids. The capability of these polymers in reducing the effects of environmentally friendly, but harmful, pollutants such as cement, calcium chloride, gypsum as well as pH changes were investigated. In the present work, two sulfonated synthetic polymers, namely Polythin and Polydri...

Insights into organogelation and its kinetics from Hansen solubility parameters. Toward a priori predictions of molecular gelation.

Many small molecules can self-assemble by non-covalent interactions into fibrous networks and thereby induce gelation of organic liquids. However, no capability currently exists to predict whether a molecule in a given solvent will form a gel, a low-viscosity solution (sol), or an insoluble precipitate. Gelation has been recognized as a phenomenon that reflects a balance between solubility and ...
