Development of furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA)-based organogelators

Abstract

Organogels are used in a wide range of applications for which the development of new bio-based organogelators is highly desirable. While furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising molecule for the synthesis of bio-based polyesters, it has never been used in the context of organogels. This study explores the possibility to design FDCA-based organogelators that self-assemble into fibrillar networks stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Gelation tests show the versatility of this gelator family with a wide variety of gelled liquids, especially apolar liquids. The structure of the gels was investigated by FTIR and CD spectroscopies, crystallography, powder X-ray diffraction and rheology.
