Small-angle X-ray scattering from a dual-component organogel to exhibit a charge transfer interaction

USAXS studies of monosaccharide gels. II. The common features of structural changes

“…The fibril systems were often revealed in these freeze-dried gels using scanning and transmission microscopy (SEM, TEM) [7,8]. For one of these gels, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements showed sets of peaks generated by systems of parallel fibrils [9] and the SAXS curve for some of these gels could be fitted to scattering by fibrils [10,11].…”

The structural parameters of rigid matrix of saccharide-based gel described by short and long diffusion regime analysis

“…The gelator Gluco-NO 2 used to form the gel studied is a unique sugar-based gelator, as it can gelatinize not only organic solvents but also water. Such examples of 'bifunctional' gelators are sparse in the literature [11]. This organogel belongs to a class of gelling materials with a potentially large spectrum of applications.…”

Reversible organogels triggered by dynamic K+ binding and release

“…Processes of such self-assembling are often driven by multiple noncovalent intermolecular interactions such as electrostatic interactions, van der Waals forces, p-p stacking and hydrogen bonding [11,12]. In particular, complementary hydrogen bonding patterns play a very important role in forming both mono-and multi-component architectures [13][14][15], and their application in the fabrication of organogels has been attempted [16][17][18]. By intelligent design of the molecular structure of LMOGs, the resulting organogel exhibits reversible changes in volume and surface physicochemical properties in response to a variety of environmental stimuli, such as temperature, pH, ionic strength, electric field, light irradiation and solvent composition [19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
