Self-assembly of sodium glycyrrhetinate into a hydrogel: characterisation and properties?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2013-10-18 DOI: 10.1039/C3RA43306D

Abstract

Sodium glycyrrhetinate, a simple triterpenoid derivative, was found to form a hydrogel with dipole–dipole interaction of sodium carboxylates as the main driving force. The hydrogel showed properties in selective dye adsorption and sustainable release.
