Role of solvophilic moieties of gelators in the thermal stability of organogels

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2023 Jan 27;25(4):2776-2780. doi: 10.1039/d2cp05136b.

Abstract

Affinity analysis using Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) reveals that the gel-sol transition point of binary organogels is correlated with preferential interactions between the solvophilic moiety of gelators and solvents. The decomposition of gelators in HSP analysis can be effectively used for predicting the thermal stability of gels.
