• %), diesters of 4-hydroxy cinnamic acid (21.0 wt %), ω-hydroxy carboxylic acids (13.0 wt %) and fatty acid alcohols (12.0 wt %). The chain length of fatty acids and alcohols is mainly in the range of C26–C30 [8]. Another classical example of a commercial lipid blend is Cutina LM, which is composed of three

The difference between the three gelators is the substituent position of the nitro group on cinnamic acid. All of these gelators could be dissolved in organic solvents with

In our previous work, the self-assembly of cinnamic acid derivatives was photo-responsive, while in this work, we found that the self-assembled molecules of the three gelators did
