Wet-spinning multi-component low-molecular-weight gelators to print synergistic soft materials

Two different low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) have been 3D-printed as filaments by wet-spininng. When the two LMWGs are simultaneously wet-spun, the co-assembled hybrid gel filaments combine the individual properties of the two gelators (dynamic pH response and in-situ metal nanoparticle forma...

Description
Summary:Two different low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) have been 3D-printed as filaments by wet-spininng. When the two LMWGs are simultaneously wet-spun, the co-assembled hybrid gel filaments combine the individual properties of the two gelators (dynamic pH response and in-situ metal nanoparticle formation) in synergistic ways, creating gel objects with new properties. Two different low-molecular-weight gelators have been simultaneously 3D-printed by wet-spinning as filaments, which combine the properties of the two gelators in synergistic ways.
