pH-triggered Supramolecular Hydrogels
Rheology analysis, Modelling gelation times & Electrochemical patterning
Supramolecular hydrogels that are formed from low molecular weight gelators are a new class of soft materials which are gaining prominence. Depending on their molecular make up, these soft gel materials are formed based on different triggers, pH being one among them. In order to

This study investigates the stabilization of oil/water emulsions as a function of addition of a biopolymer (scleroglucan) which acts as an emulsion stabilizer. Rheological characterization in the form of controlled stress creep measurements has been carried out and it reveals the

While the formation of (tri)block copolymer hydrogels has been extensively investigated, such studies mostly focused on equilibrium self-assembling whereas the use of preformed structures as building blocks such as out of equilibrium, quenched, nanofibrillar micelles is still a c

The work presented here shows that the growth of supramolecular hydrogel fibers can be spatially directed at the nanoscale by catalytic negatively charged nanoparticles (NCNPs). The NCNPs with surfaces grafted with negatively charged polymer chains create a local proton gradie ...
