Abstract

In this work, a new gelator containing 4,4′-oxybisbenzenamine and two cholesterol group was synthesized which could form a super-gel in DMF with the critical gelation concentration of 0.18 wt.%. The self-assembly structure and the formation mechanism had been studied and certified by field emission scanning electron microscopy, UV–vis, IR, XRD and structure surface wetting experiment data. The nanofibre structure was obtained with the contact angle of 135°. The “H-aggregate” self-assembly mode was adopted in organogel system. H-bonding and π–π stacking were the main driving force for the organogel formation.
