In situ synthesis-gelation at room temperature vs. heating-cooling procedure. Fine tuning of molecular gels derived from succinic acid and L-valine

- Molecular gels are prepared by in situ, simultaneous, synthesis and gelation.
- Gel properties differ considerably between in situ and thermally prepared gels.
- In situ gels are thixotropic but the ones prepared by heat-cool method not.
- Kinetic profiles for the release of dyes differ for in situ and heat-cool gels.
