A Phase-Selective Supramolecular Gelator as Oil Solidifier

Abstract:

A simple sugar-derived supramolecular gelator of 1,6-dicaprylate sorbitan ester was designed and prepared as new oil solidifier. The gelation tests revealed that the gelator can gel or phase-selectively gel fuel oils, edible oils and some organic solvents. And the SEM images showed the structure of 3D fiber network was formed in the process of gelation. What’s more, the rate of oil removal in water was 85% and the recovery rate of spilled oils reached up to 60.29%.
