A comprehensive review of the features driving self-assembly of 12-hydroxystearic acid (12-
HSA), a low-molecular-weight gelator, and its applications in drug delivery and as other soft …

Assembled molecular gels exhibit dynamic properties and have been developed as
functional soft materials with self-healing ability, stimuli responsiveness, and other such …

This study examines the structures of soft surfactant-based biomaterials which can be tuned
by temperature. More precisely, investigated here is the behavior of stearic acid (SA) and 12 …

Chiral transcription from chiral inorganic nanoobjects to achiral organic molecules is a
fascinating topic. In this study, chiral transcription was demonstrated using helically …

The low-molecular-weight gelator (LMG) 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (12-HOA) is
insoluble in water, but can be solubilized in surfactant micelles. We therefore solubilized 12 …

Here, we describe the behavior of mixtures of stearic acid (SA) and its hydroxylated
counterpart 12-hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA) in aqueous mixtures at room temperature as a …

Abstract Ultrathin Au nanowires (NWs) with a diameter below 2 nm have attracted
considerable attention as a promising one-dimensional nanomaterial. However, they are …

Hydrogels formed by low-molecular-weight gelators have reversible sol-gel transition and
responsiveness to various stimuli, and are used in cosmetics and drug applications. It is …

In this study, we present a hydrogel fabrication utilizing a water-insoluble, low-molecular-
weight organogelator by the surfactant-mediated gelation (SMG). Specifically, we employed …

The potential of a new poly (magnesium acrylate) hydrogel (PAMgA) as a pharmaceutical
excipient for the elaboration of matrix tablets for the extended release of highly hydrophilic …
