Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Low molecular weight gelators, methods of making such gelators, organogels comprising such gelators and methods of using such organogels are described. In exemplary methods, the gelators can be used in a variety of applications including the delivery of pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients, in food, cosmetics and consumer products, and in containing the unexpected release of chemical that occur for example in spills.
