Low molecular-mass organic gelators

ID: low-molecular-mass-organic-gelators

Low molecular-mass organic gelators (LMOGs) are small organic molecules that can form gel-like structures when dispersed in a solvent at relatively low concentrations. Unlike traditional polymeric gelators, LMOGs typically have a molecular weight of less than 1,000 Da and can self-assemble into fibrillar or network structures that trap solvent molecules, leading to the formation of a gel.
