Abstract
Simple diurea compounds form thermoreversible gets with several organi c solvents. These gels are stable up to temperatures of 100 degrees C, and can be stored for months. Electron microscopy reveals that in the se solvents the gelation agents assemble into very thin rectangular sh eets which are several tens of micrometers long. Copyright (C) 1996 El sevier Science Ltd
