Fluorescent ‘two-faced’ polymer wafers with embedded pyrene-functionalised gelator nanofibres

Abstract

Pyrene-functionalised gelators self-assemble into nano-fibrillar organogels in DMSO/styrene/divinylbenzene mixtures, which when polymerised yield polymer wafers with two distinct faces, only one of which is fluorescent and has embedded gelator nanofibres.
