Sub-zero temperature mechanically stable low molecular weight hydrogels

We show here a low molecular weight hydrogelator based on a functionalised-dipeptide which is stable down to temperatures of –12 °C despite being made from >99% water. This stabilty at low temperature can be extended to ∼–40 °C by gelling water : glycerol mixtures. The temperature range is wider...
