Abstract

Hydrogels made from new gelators, composed of the alkyl chain and a D-glucamine moiety linked together with glycine(s), exhibit thixotropic properties, whereas the hydrogels formed with structurally similar N-alkyl-D-glucamide, which do not contain the glycine moiety, have a tendency to crystallize and do not show thixotropic behaviour.
