Dissipative Self-Assembly of a Molecular Gelator by Using a Chemical Fuel

Dissipative Self-Assembly of a Molecular Gelator by Using a Chemical Fuel

Fueling the future: A fibrillar network (red fibers, see figure) is formed from an activated building block (red), which is obtained from a synthetic gelator (blue) in a dissipative self‐assembly process that is fueled by an alkylating agent. When the available energy is depleted, the system reverts...

Zusammenfassung:Fueling the future: A fibrillar network (red fibers, see figure) is formed from an activated building block (red), which is obtained from a synthetic gelator (blue) in a dissipative self‐assembly process that is fueled by an alkylating agent. When the available energy is depleted, the system reverts to its thermodynamic equilibrium, that is, an isotropic solution.
