Glucose and Glucosamine Derivatives as Novel Low Molecular Weight Gelators

Glucose and Glucosamine Derivatives as Novel Low Molecular Weight Gelators

Low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) are small molecules that are capable of entrapping solvents to form a gel in organic solvents or aqueous solution. These compounds rely solely on noncovalent forces to form the fibrous networks necessary to entrap a variety of solvents. The organogels and hydrog...
