Supramolecular Arrangement and Rheological Properties of Bisamide Gels.

We report a systematic study of the gelation behavior of BA gelators in xylene, with odd and even -methylene spacers between the amide groups ( = 5-10) and 17 carbons at each end. The melting temperatures () of BA gels are obtained from fitting our DSC(T) model to the experimental DSC data. The found of BA gels is about 35 °C lower than of the pure BA gelators.
