Abstract

A sol is a stable suspension of submicron particles in a liquid while a gel is a three dimensional network of these particles which is bicontinuous with the liquid phase. Sol particles are stabilized by surface charges or by steric hindrance of molecules on the particle surface. Sols can be gelled by the agglomeration of the particles; for example, by reducing the inter-particle repulsion with the addition of a salt. The sol-gel transformation is an important industrial, biological and household process. Novel ceramic processing techniques, blood-clotting, and white-sauce manufacturing are some diverse examples. Therefore, there has been extensive interest in relating the gel structure to changes in the physical properties that occur during gelation.Direct observation of thin vitrified films is the preferred technique for microstructural determination of colloidal dispersions in the size range of 1-1000nm.
