Robust gels created using a self-assembly and covalent capture strategy

Abstract

The self-assembly of dendritic building blocks containing multiple terminal alkenes on their surfaces yields soft gel-phase materials – subsequent Grubbs' metathesis leads to covalent cross-linking between the alkenes and the formation of robust swellable gels.
