An intriguing case of self assembly is the formation of supramolecular gels. Small organic "gelator" molecules in solution self assemble into a fibrous network which forms gels by trapping solvent. Such gels have been utilised for a host of biological and material applications. The formation and structure of these complex, hierarchical materials must be understood in order to take advantage of their many unique and desirable properties. We have developed a gelator which is unusual in being able to gel a wide range of solvents from toluene to DMSO-water mixtures. The nanoscopic structure of the gels formed is different in each case which is thought to be due to the relative importance of different types of interaction in different solvent systems. The question to be addressed is how the interactions of the gelator fibres with the solvent differ according to the solvent used.
