1,3:2,4-Dibenzylidene-D-sorbitol (DBS) and 12-hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA) are well-known as low-molecular-weight organogelators (LMOGs) capable of gelling an organic liquid phase. Considering their unique chemical physical properties, we assessed potential effects in new lipstick formulations by discrimination testing; vitro measurements the sun protection factor (SPF); thermal, mechanical tex...

Organogels are an important class of gels, and comparable to hydrogels owing their properties as liquid-infused soft materials. Despite the extensive choice liquid media compatible networks that can provide a broader range properties, relatively few studies reported in this area. This review presents applicability organogels concerning components, unique applications. Their distinctive features...

We describe herein the two-component charge-transfer (CT) interaction induced organogel formation with 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid appended pyrene (GA-pyrene, 3) as the donor, and 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone (TNF, 4) as the acceptor. The use of TNF (4) as a versatile electron acceptor in the formation of CT gels is demonstrated through the formation of gels in a variety of solvents. Thermal stability,...
