    Abstract:

    Two azobenzene gelators (M-AZO-1 and M-AZO-2) with melamine moieties were designed and synthesized. The two gelators can gel many kinds of organic solvents with a low concentration. The SEM images of the xerogels showed fibers with larger diameter formed in polar organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, and fibers with smaller diameters formed in apolar organic solvents such as toluene and methyl cyclohexane. The effect of UV irradiation on gelation behavior was further investigated. After the irradiation of 365nm light, M-AZO-1 and M-AZO-2 could still gel the same solvents and the morphologies of aggregations remained unchanged obviously.
