β¦ Synopsis
The effect of temperature and molecular weight, on the conformational properties of agar aqueous solutions is reported. Equations of the viscosity agar solutions for different concentrations, and molecular weight, are given. The thermoreversible sol gel transition in agar gel is studied by small deformation oscillatory measurements of storage G 0 and loss modulus G 00 . The gelation and melting temperatures are given for different concentrations and molecular weights. Gelation enthalpies are calculated by the Ferry-Eldrige model, effect of nature and molecular weight of agar are discussed.

Hybrid materials incorporating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) via a sol-gel process were studied for a wide range of compositions of PEG by DSC and high resolution solid-state 13 C-and 29 Si-NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that the microstructure of the hybrid mater
