First report of phase selective gelation of oil from oil/water mixtures. Possible implications toward containing oil spills

Abstract

From a two-phase mixture of water and oil (either commercial fuel or pure organic solvent), a simple amino acid derivative, N-lauroyl-L-alanine has been shown to be able to gelate the oil phase selectively; SEM and FT-IR provided molecular level insights into the process of gelation.
