A strategy for tuning achiral main-chain polymers into helical assemblies and chiral memory systems.
A general strategy to tune the achiral main chain polymers into helical nanoassemblies was proposed based on the co-gelation approach. As an example, two achiral main chain polymers, PCz8 and PSi8, were selected, and their co-assembly with an amphiphilic l- or d-glutamide gelator was investigated. Although the polymers could not form gels individually, they could form co-gels with the gelator a...
متن کاملStructural characterization of ionic gelator studied by dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering.
Structural characterization of a hydrogel consisting of an oligomeric electrolyte, poly[pyridinium-1,4-diyliminocarbonyl-1,4-phenylenemethylene chloride] (1-Cl) as an ionic gelator was carried out by static and dynamic light scattering (SLS/DLS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques. All the measurements were performed by changing the concentration and temperature. We have succes...
متن کاملScaleable two-component gelator from phthalic acid derivatives and primary alkyl amines: acid-base interaction in the cooperative assembly.
A series of phthalic acid derivatives (P) with a carbon-chain tail was designed and synthesized as single-component gelators. A combination of the single-component gelator P and a non-gelling additive n-alkylamine A through acid-base interaction brought about a series of novel phase-selective two-component gelators PA. The gelation capabilities of P and PA, and the structural, morphological, th...
متن کاملGelation or molecular recognition; is the bis-(α,β-dihydroxy ester)s motif an omnigelator?
Understanding the gelation of liquids by low molecular weight solutes at low concentrations gives an insight into many molecular recognition phenomena and also offers a simple route to modifying the physical properties of the liquid. Bis-(α,β-dihydroxy ester)s are shown here to gel thermoreversibly a wide range of solvents, raising interesting questions as to the mechanism of gelation. At gelat...
متن کاملOrganogel formation rationalized by Hansen solubility parameters: influence of gelator structure.
Some organic compounds form gels in liquids by forming a network of anisotropic fibres. Based on extensive solubility tests of four gelators of similar structures, and on Hansen solubility parameter formalism, we have probed the quantitative effect of a structural variation of the gelator structure on its gel formation ability. Increasing the length of an alkyl group of the gelator obviously re...
