Supramolecular hydrogels are composed of self-assembled solid networks that restrict the flow of water. l-Phenylalanine is the smallest molecule reported to date to form gel networks in water, and it is of particular interest due to its... more
Solid-state cocrystallization is of contemporary interest because it offers an easy and efficient way to produce cocrystals, which are recognized as prospective pharmaceutical materials. Research explaining solid-state cocrystallization... more
The detailed structural analysis and the control of solid state transformations of encapsulated pharmaceutical molecules inside the pores of mesoporous silicas are demonstrated.
It has previously been reported that the caffeine : malonic acid co-crystal system forms spontaneously upon the contact of the two materials, here we explore the mechanism of this formation and control the kinetics to enable us to monitor... more
Eighteen N-aryl-N'-alkyl urea gelators were synthesised in order to understand the effect of head substituents on gelation performance. Minimum gelation concentration values obtained from gel formation studies were used to rank the... more
