Controlling hydrogel properties by tuning non-covalent interactions in a charge complementary multicomponent system.


ABSTRACT: Mixing small molecule gelators is a promising route to prepare useful and exciting materials that cannot be accessed from any of the individual components. Here, we describe pH-triggered hydrogelation by mixing of two non-gelling amphiphiles. The intermolecular interactions among the molecules can be tuned either by controlling the degree of ionization of the components or by a preparative pathway, which enables us to control material properties such as gel strength, gel stiffness, thermal stability, and an unusual shrinking/swelling behaviour.
