title: Metastability and sol phases: two keys for the future of molecular gels?
abstract: The future of molecular gels may rely on a deeper theoretical understanding of the gel-to-solid phase-separation process that usually limits the lifetime of molecular gels. Stable sol phases, when available, can be the appropriate vectors to transfer the 1D self-assembled and functional morphologies to solid substrates that may be used for technological devices.
