title: A new route to prepare multiresponsive organogels from a block ionomer via charge-driven assembly.
abstract: We report a novel route to prepare multiresponsive organogels through charge-driven assembly between a block ionomer and a diblock copolymer. The ionic complex aggregates to form spherical cores, which are connected by the middle block of the block ionomer to form gels. The organogels are responsive to acids, amines and salts.
