Fibrillar Networks as Advanced Materials

Fibrillar networks, materials belonging to the realm of finely-divided matter, can be obtained through two different systems: from polymer solutions giving rise to thermo reversible gels, on the one hand, and from organic molecules solutions, that self-assemble and produce organogels, on the other hand. this symposium was aimed at brining together organic chemists working on organogels from self-assembled systems, and polymer physical chemists working on fibrillar thermoreversible gels.
