Dec 1, 2010 · In this article, we present a thermodynamic model for physical gels that considers both the elastic properties of the network and the transient nature of the cross-links. The cross …

A gel is a semi-solid that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. [1][2] Gels are defined as a substantially dilute cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in …

Some physical hydrogels have found interesting applications. For example, Mehyar et al. investigated two physical hydrogels (one based on hydrogen-bonded starch and the other …

Presenting a unique perspective on the state-of-the-art of physical gels, this interdiscipli-nary guide provides a complete, critical analysis of the field and highlights recent developments.

In this review we consider and compare the structures and properties of a range of gels that have been studied in recent years. In comparing these gels we highlight the importance of key …

Sep 1, 1999 · In this work, we present a new approach using analytical and optical techniques in order to determine the physical and chemical properties of silica gel, as well as the …

Physical gels are characterized by dynamic cross-links that are constantly created and broken, changing its state between solid and liquid under influence of environmental factors.

Apr 5, 2025 · As described before, PAM gel with 0% chemical crosslinking density is a physical gel obeying the hierarchical dynamics of non-diffusive stretched exponential decay (Fig. 2d), …

Aug 8, 2018 · A physical gel is a three-dimensional (3-D) polymer organize that is held together through physical tangle, hydrogen bonds, and additionally hydrophobic interactions (Buwalda …
