Role of solvophilic moieties of gelators in the thermal stability of organogels†
Abstract
Affinity analysis using Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) reveals that the gel–sol transition point of binary organogels is correlated with preferential interactions between the solvophilic moiety of gelators and solvents. The decomposition of gelators in HSP analysis can be effectively used for predicting the thermal stability of gels.
