Amino acid-based amphiphilic hydrogels: metal ion induced tuning of mechanical and thermal stability

A phenylalanine based gelator was found to form a hydrogel in phosphate buffer solution. Addition of metal ions to this hydrogel dramatically increases the thermal stability and mechanical strength.
