The conformational properties of reticulate gels are examined in detail. The distribution of void sizes in a reticulate gel is shown to be usually indistinguishable from that in a hypothetical gel comprising a scaffolding of long, straight, randomly oriented, nonintersecting gel fibers. Agarose gel

Void growth is analysed when a grain boundary contains a distribution of second phase particles. The rate of void growth is determined by the ease with which material can plate out around the particles or the rate at which the material surrounding the particln can deform by power-law creep. At low a
The decay of a heterogeneous population of particles such as occurs when a heterogeneous aerosol is decaying by diffusion of particles to the containing walls may be used to estimate the distribution function of the heterogeneous population. By making observations as the decay proceeds, it is possib
