Abstract
H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy reveal that the intermolecular acid-base interaction and van der Waals interaction are critical driving forces in the process of organogelation. In addition, this kind of organogel system displays excellent mechanical properties and thermo-reversibility, and its forming mechanism is also proposed.
