Abstract

In this work, we have investigated the role of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) interaction of the head-groups of amphiphilic organogelators. For this we have designed, synthesized and studied the gelation behaviour of a series of amide amphiphiles having hydrocarbon chains with the same length (C14) but with–COOH,–OH,–NH2 or–N (CH3) 2) functionalities as head-group. These gelators, except the one with–N (CH3) 2 head-group, ...
