Tóm tắt

AbstractThere are a number of physical models which describe properties of physical gels, such as the time dependence of viscoelastic properties, stress‐strain dependence, and the concentration dependence of gel(ation) time and of gel modulus. One of the latter, due to ourselves, has been useful for fitting data for a number of systems including PVC and gelatin gels. However one of its limitations is that it has three “molecular” parameters, and only infrequently can these be estimated from independent experiment. In some cases a better way of testing the model's viability is to compare data concurrently for different concentrations and molecular weights in a surface fit. This paper reviews earlier work and illustrates the extended technique applied to new data for agarose and PVA gels.
