"Molecular Gels: Materials with Self-Assembled Fibrillar Networks"
is a comprehensive treatise on gelators, especially low
molecular-mass gelators and the properties of their gels. The
structures and modes of formation of the self-assembled fibrillar
networks (SAFINs) that immobilize the liquid components of the gels
are discussed experimentally and theoretically. The spectroscopic,
rheological, and structural features of the different classes of
low molecular-mass gelators are also presented. Many examples of
the application of the principal analytical techniques for
investigation of molecular gels (including SANS, SAXS, WAXS, UV-vis
absorption, fluorescence and CD spectroscopies, scanning electron,
transmission electron and optical microscopies, and molecular
modeling) are presented didactically and in-depth, as are several
of the theories of the stages of aggregation of individual low
molecular-mass gelator molecules leading to SAFINs. Several actual
and potential applications of molecular gels in disparate fields
(from silicate replication of nanostructures to art conservation)
are described. Special emphasis is placed on perspectives for
future developments.
This book is an invaluable resource for researchers and
practitioners either already researching self-assembly and soft
matter or new to the area. Those who will find the book useful
include chemists, engineers, spectroscopists, physicists,
biologists, theoreticians, and materials scientists.
