ABSTRACT:
Functionalized cubic gel precursors, functionalized cubic liquid crystalline gels, dispersions of functionalized cubic gel particles and functionalized cubic gel particles are disclosed. Methods for preparing and using the precursors, gels, dispersions, and particles are also disclosed. The precursors, gels, dispersions, and particles are used to deliver active ingredients to substrates.
