Scheme 1 — Proposed scheme for the hierarchical self-assembly of lipodipeptide C12GA gelator (C₁₇H₃₂N₂O₄, N-Dodecanoyl-glycyl-l-alanine) in aqueous NaH₂PO₄ media: gelator molecules self-assemble into lamellar-like elongated nanotapes (I). The single nanotapes merge into lamellar ribbons (II), which entangle and collapse forming the 3D-hidrogel (III).
