Abstract
Gel self-assembly: Addition of small amounts of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to a solution of oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) OPV1 in toluene triggers their self-assembly to form a composite gel (see picture) with higher stability and better rheological properties than the OPV1 gel. Strong physical interactions between the species allow the encapsulation of CNTs into self-assembled tapes of OPV1, reinforcing the 3D gel network.
