Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to unprotected tripeptide ionogel compositions, respective production processes and characterization with application in a variety of technological fields.
  • Hydrogels are materials typically composed of more than 90% (w/w) of water. Peptides can self-assemble into hydrogels, representing a promising class of soft biomaterials that has received increasing attention during the last decades.
  • the process of peptide self organization occurs at a molecular level in a 'bottom-up' approach where the simplest biomolecules, such as peptides or amino acids, interact with each other in aqueous solutions in a coordinated manner. In this process, one-dimensional peptide aggregates evolve to form fibrils that coil into larger fibres, crosslinking to form a gel.
  • hydrogels weakness is the low stability in non-aqueous environments. When exposed to air, for example at ambient room conditions, hydrogels rapidly lose moisture, shrink and turn brittle due to water evaporation. On the other hand, to turn hydrogels into conductive materials there is usually the need to incorporate dopants in the hydrogel formulation [10].
  • Ionic liquids are molten salts composed by at least one organic salt of composition X + and Y , wherein X + represents the cation of the salt and Y represents the anion of the salt.
  • the melting point of ionic liquids is below 100°C, and they show very low volatility.
  • Ionic liquids are designer solvents in the sense that the anion and cation can be varied and tuned to different purposes.
  • Ionic liquids are considered green solvents with very interesting properties, namely high ionic conductivity, large electrochemical window, low vapour pressure, excellent thermal, electrochemical and chemical stability, non flammability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability.
