Chemical crosslinking in ‘reactive’ multicomponent gels

Abstract

We show that the hydrolysis of EDC can be used to construct a reactive system to trigger permanent covalent crosslinking between the components in multicomponent gels comprising gelators with a carboxylic acid and amine group yielding an amide functionalized gel with enhanced mechanical properties.
