Product Information
Gel is one of the soft matters and it has the middle of unique characteristic between a liquid and a solid, it’s
widely used as it has the flexible material. On the other hand, since the most of gels are hydrogel, it is said
that it’s unsuitable for adopting with organic solvents.
In these years, its expected to use with the functional solvents for example Ionic liquid as expectation are
glowing for using as hybrid-gel which added many functions as the next generation softer.
We have developed Gelling agent which has the following unique characteristics by combining polymers andcross linkers.

●Applicable to a lot of type of organic solvents and ionic liquids.
●Maintain Conductivity after gelling of conductive material since Gelling agent itself has conductivity.
●Maintain gel characteristic even under high temperature since its chemical gel.
The trial kit is prepared. We would like for you to feel free to try it.

Structure of Gel
Chemical gel by using crosslinkers. Its capable of maintaining gel state because of high temperature resistant unlike physical gels.

Capability
Example of gelling organic solvents
Our gelater is capable of gelling Ionic liquids and organic solvents which have wide range of polarities
such as Toluene and Acetonitrile.

Solvents that can be gelled or Gelable solvents
Organic solvents : Toluene, Chloroform, Dichloromethane, Acetone, DMF, DMA, NMP, EC, PC, GBL, Acetonitrile,Methoxyacetonitrile, Methoxypropionitrile(MPN) etc.

Ionic liquids:

BMImTFSA、EMImTFSA、P13TFSA、PP13TFSA、BMImOTf etc.

Example of gelling electrolyte solution
It’s capable of gelling electrolyte solution even together with electrolytes such as Lithium salts and Ammonium salts.

Just putting a polymer and cross linker, and heat it. And it turn into a gel.
No need any cooling operations which are used for a preparation method of physical gels.
