Gel is a class of self-supporting soft materials with applications in many fields. Fast,
controllable gelation, micro/nano structure and suitable rheological properties are essential …

This article gives an overview of the current progress of a class of supramolecular soft
materials consisting of fiber networks and the trapped liquid. After discussing the up‐to‐date …

The self‐assembly of a low‐molecular‐weight organogelator into various hierarchical
structures has been achieved for a pyridylpyrazole linked l‐glutamide amphiphile in different …

Solvent properties play a central role in mediating the aggregation and self-assembly of
molecular gelators and their growth into fibers. Numerous attempts have been made to …

By studying a family of L-lysine bis-urea gelators with variable peripheral groups in different
solvents, a more detailed understanding of the way in which gelator fibres interact with the …

We report a two-component acid–amine gelation system which forms instant organogels on
simple mixing. We investigate self-assembly using a wide range of different amines and …

By identifying the Hansen space of nonfood‐grade gelators, which are capable of gelling oil,
insights into the molecular characteristics required for gelation of edible oil become …

By introducing methanol as a co-solvent into cyclopentanone, solvent effects on structure,
photoresponse and speed of gelation of a dicholesterol-linked azobenzene organogel …

Small molecule gelators are serendipitously discovered more often than they are designed.
As a consequence, it has been challenging to develop applications based on the limited set …

This paper proposes a simple method for predicting organogel formation, and highlights the
important role played by solvent viscosity (η) and molecular size (V) in influencing the gel …
