(A) Fluorescence emission spectra of the hydrogelator (0.3 wt%) over time after the gelation trigger (0.5 wt%). (B) Scheme of the evaluated pathways during the gelation process, where the fibril-catalyzed secondary nucleation contribution was found to be negligible. (C) Gelation kinetic profile dependence on hydrogelator and GdL concentration, (D) fibril concentration and temperature. (E) Average nucleation and elongation rate constants obtained from the Saitô’s aggregation model fitting to turbidity profiles at increasing temperatures (hydrogel 0.3 wt%, GdL 0.5 wt%). Fluorescence emission (F) and anisotropy r (G) of Nile Red (2 µM) in hydrogels prepared at different hydrogelator-to-GdL ratios and temperatures (fixed hydrogel and GdL concentration).
