Recent advances in carbohydrate-based gelators

Abstract

Carbohydrate-based gelators are the emerging new materials having diversified application fields such as drug delivery, environmental remediation, antibacterial agents, tissue engineering, thixotropy and wound healing. They have been established as biocompatible and renewable materials for sustainable development. Natural monosaccharides have versatile structures that are useful in the synthesis of gelators. In this review, recently synthesized low-molecular weight carbohydrate-based gelators from 2014 to 2023 are meticulously discussed with their diverse application in various fields including biomedical applications. The diverse syntheses and applications of carbohydrate-based gelators establish them as new materials that are cleaner, greener and biocompatible. Therefore, this review may be helpful to the researchers working in the field of biocompatible materials for exploring customized materials and their novel future applications.
