    Abstract

    This thesis presents investigations into supramolecular gels by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), rheometry and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) to study the assembly and disassembly processes of gels and their physical properties to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic properties of gels. Supramolecular gels, which have a reversible nature and can be switched via external stimuli, and peptide gels of biological relevance were studied with the above-mentioned techniques.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
