Effect of Solvent on the Mechanical and Structural Properties of -Alkyldiamide Organogels.

Here, we study organogels prepared thanks to a new organogelator, the -oleyldiamide molecule, which shows a remarkable propensity to gelify a large scope of solvents, from aprotic to high protic solvents. The solvent plays a key role in the formation and stability of supramolecular self-assemblies. However, the understanding and the control of its effects can be complex as many parameters are involved.
