- W4313593553 abstract "Understanding the factors that control the formation of (supra)molecular hydrogels permits a rational tuning of their properties and represents a primary challenge for developing smart biocompatible soft materials. Hydrogel formation by molecular amphiphilic anions at millimolar concentrations is counterintuitive, considering the solubility of these species in water. Here we report hydrogel formation by a simple anionic molecular amphiphile and a rationale for the fibrillisation process observed. The studied molecule, DodValSuc, consists of a 12C alkyl chain, an l-valine unit and a terminal succinic acid moiety. Hydrogelation depends to a large degree on the nature and concentration of the alkaline cations present in the medium (Li+, Na+ or K+). As a result, gelation efficiency and properties like thermal stability or rheology are highly tunable using the alkaline cation present or its concentration as variables. A detailed study is reported, which includes the determination of minimum gelation concentration (MGC) by tabletop rheology, critical micelle concentration (CMC) using pyrene as a fluorescent probe, thermal stability (solubility) by 1H NMR, the morphology of the fibres by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), crystallinity by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and gel strength by oscillatory rheology. Additionally, dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to evaluate the size of the micelles and permitted monitoring of the fibrillisation process. Altogether, the results are consistent with the formation of micelles that experience head crystallisation and subsequent aggregation into crystalline fibres. The alkaline cations play a crucial role in providing the cement that glues together the gelator molecules, making their concentration a critical parameter for gelation efficiency and properties. Furthermore, the gelation-promoting effects are inversely correlated with the size of the cations so that the highest thermal stability and rheological strength were found for the hydrogels formed in the presence of Li+." @default.
