Abstract

Sweet and low: two sugar-based supergelators can congeal oils to produce highly transparent gels with glass-like refractive indices showing low UV transmittance and high visible transmittance and remarkable self-healing properties. This unique blend of properties can be exploited to make soft optical devices from these gels.
