Abstract:Although tremendous research investigations on organogelators and hydrogelators have been conducted, the reports about the ambidextrous gelators capable of gelating both organic solvents, especially, apolar solvents and water are very limited. In order to create efficient ambidextrous gelators it should be necessary to take a bottom‐up approach. Thus, according to molecular design the amphiphilic compounds consisting of glutamate‐based structure having two long alkyl chains and the ethanolamine moiety have bee… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
