## Abstract Using the cavitation rheology (CR) technique developed in our labs, we show that fluids with negligible interfacial tensions with a surrounding material can be used to induce an elastic, cavitation instability in that material. We do this by changing the cavitation media from air, which
The longitudinal sound velocities in crosslinked polyacrylate hydrogels were measured as a function of water content in the gel in the temperature range 30-I00Β°C. The sound velocity changed drastically around a water content of 40--50 wt %. Above this range, the sound velocity decreased monotonicall
