A new family of supramolecular hydrogelators are introduced in which self-sorting and co-assembly can be utilised in the tuneability of the mechanical properties of the materials, a property closely tied to the nanostructure of the gel network. The reactivity of the components of the gelators allows for system chemistry concepts to be applied to the formation of the gels and shows that molecular properties, and not necessarily the chemical identity, determines some gel properties in these family of gels.
本文介绍了一类新型超分子水凝胶剂,其中自分类和共组装可用于调节材料的机械性能,该性能与凝胶网络的纳米结构密切相关。凝胶剂各组分的反应活性使得系统化学概念可应用于凝胶的形成,并表明在这类凝胶中,分子性质而非化学特性决定了某些凝胶性质。
