Abstract (type = abstract)
Molecular organogels are thermo reversible quasi-solid materials, which are formed by low molecular weight organogelators (LMOGs) undergoing supramolecular aggregation via non-covalent interactions, forming a three-dimensional fibrillar network. Numerous applications of molecular organogels are been investigated as edible oils, drug release matrices and personal care products. The chemistry of the organic phase (i.e., solvent) influences every level of structure in organogels. Different solvents induce LMOG to assemble into “crystal like” fibers, which have more than one crystal form, lamellar arrangement and domain size. Differences in these solid states are known to affect the macroscopic properties of the gel, including critical gelator concentration (CGC), melting point, melting enthalpy and opacity.12-hydroxystearic acid (12HSA) was examined in several classes of organic solvents with different function groups. These gels, sols or precipitates were analyzed using a series of techniques including: powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (pNMR) and microscopy. Specifically, certain solvents caused 12HSA to self-assemble into a triclinic parallel polymorphic form with subcell spacing of ~4.6, 3.9, and 3.8 Å and an interdigitated unit cell with a lamellar arrangement (38~44 Å). This polymorphic form corresponded to a less effective sphereultic supramolecular crystalline network, which immobilizes solvents at CGC greater than 1.5 wt %. The other group of solvents induce a hexagonal subcell spacing (i.e., unit sub cell spacing ~4.1 Å) and are arranged in a multi lamellar fashion with a unit cell greater than the bimolecular length of 12HSA (~54 Å).This polymorphic form corresponds to fibrillar aggregates with a CGC less than 1 wt %.
