Abstract

Thermoreversible gelation of relatively short n -alkanes and a variety of other organic liquids has been accomplished using low concentrations of long n -alkanes (chain lengths from 24 to 36 carbon atoms) as gelators. The stability of the gels is discussed in terms of gelator concentration, gelation temperature, and the duration of time gels persist without bulk phase separation. Generally, stability increases with the chain length of the gelator. n -Alkanes are structurally the simplest organic gelators possible and their gels with n -alkanes as liquids are the simplest organogels that can be made. Their existence demonstrates that London dispersion forces alone can provide colloidal networks whose strength is sufficient to immobilize liquids against the pull of gravity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
