Copper (I)-catalyzed 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition between organic azides and terminal
alkynes, commonly known as CuAAC or click chemistry, has been identified as one of the …

Being cost-effective, synthetic materials were initially used abundantly for the removal of oil.
Gradually, however, awareness of the use of dispersants like Corexit, which makes water …

This review explores supramolecular gels as materials for environmental remediation.
These soft materials are formed by self-assembling low-molecular-weight building blocks …

A Perspective is presented on the history and current understanding of molecular gels and
the factors that must be considered to characterize them. The abilities of the most important …

Oils and fats of vegetable and animal origin have been the most important renewable
feedstock of the chemical industry in the past and in the present. A tremendous geographical …

In this review, we focus on the types of smart supramolecular gels whose self-assembly
processes are affected or even triggered by physical forces including sonication and …

Trans and saturated fat replacers/substitutes have been a tremendously active area of
research for the food industry. Unlike polymers used for hydrogels, oleogels utilize small …

Aerogels that derived from biomass have long been attractive as absorbents for oil clean-up.
However, it remains a significant challenge to prepare fully bio-based oil absorbents that …

The ability to prepare solid surfaces with well-controlled superhydrophobic and
superoleophilic properties is of paramount importance to water–oil separation technology …

In recent years low molecular mass organic gelators (LMOGs) have gained increasing
interest as an alternative biomaterial to polymer derived gels, with potential applications in …
