Low Molecular Mass Gelators of Organic Liquids

In recent years there has been a considerable interest in developing new types of low molecular mass organogelators because of their potential technological applications. Several classes of low molecular weight compounds form stable and efficient gels with various organic solvents at low concentrations. One-component and two-component gelators are grouped separately. Each group is self-assembled by various noncovalent to form various structures with nanometer and micrometer dimension. Key word : Supramolecular gel; one-component and two-component gelators; nanometer and micrometer dimension; Entangled Fibrillar Gel-Phase Network.
