Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising classic bis-ureas and bis-ureas functionalised by macromolecular chains, said bis-ureas including complementary spacers of the aryl type, the mixture of said bis-ureas in a solvent leading to a stable physical gel. The invention also relates to a method for producing said composition and to the use of said composition as an organogelator, alone or in a cosmetic preparation, an ink, a fuel or a lubricant, especially of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making a theremorevsible bituminous composition. The method includes transferring an additive to a bitumen to form a mixture, and stirring the mixture until its appearance is homogenous. The additive can be an organogelator with general formula R?—(COOH)z, where R? is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated chain having 4 to 68 carbon atoms and z is an integer varying from 2 to 4. The bituminous composition is hard at the temperature of use without increasing its viscosity when hot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bituminous composition that comprises a major portion of at least one bitumen and a minor portion of at least one chemical additive, said additive being an organogelling agent that generates a network of hydrogen bonds between the organogelling molecules constituting the same, and trapping the bitumen phase up to a maximum temperature TR of between 40 and 120° C. The invention also relates to the use of these bitumen compositions in the field of road applications, particularly in the production of road binders, as well as in industrial applications. The invention also relates to a method for preparing these bituminous compositions.
