Low molecular mass organo- and hydrogelators (LMOG) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their tunable physical
transition and this time the gel turned pink colour (Figure 3c, heating and cooling reformed the gel).
(C) SEMandPOM characterization of the gels
The gels showed birefringent textures under a polarizing optical microscope [19]. The organogel showed spherulitic structures [20] (where the fibres originated
