Porous Gels of Poly (ε-caprolactone) Using the Tubular Organogel Fibers of a Polyurethane Model Compound as Porogen

摘要

Low molecular weight organogels have emerged as an important class of soft organic materials in recent years. Significant research effort has so far been invested in transforming the serendipitous discovery of organogels into an efficient way of making gels with predetermined structure and properties. In this paper we describe a two component gel system consisting of poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and an organo gelator. The polymer and the gelator are immiscible, and neither of them gel chloroform individually.
