Conclusion
Small-molecular-weight hydro- and organogels are, without any doubt, versatile
and multifunctional materials. New and different types of small-molecular gelling
agents are constantly being reported. However, many of these reports do not
include fully characterizing the new gelling agent [63-66]. More in-depth research
in terms of applications would definitely widen the functional scope of small-
molecular-weight gels and see their usage increase in various industries in the near
future.
