dc.description.abstractIn this paper, we survey the gelation mechanisms for various polymeric systems which are classified by the type and the strength of the cross-linkages. These are the irreversible gels that are cross-linked chemically by covalent bonds and the reversible gels that are cross-linked physically by hydrogen or ionic bonds and by the physical entanglement of polymer chains. Some of the natural polymer gels fall into the class of physical gels, among which the red algae that has attracted attention for various applications is discussed in detail. Various composite gels, formed from mixture of physical and chemical gels are also discussed in the last section of the article. Theoretical models describe the gelation as a process of random linking of subunits to larger and larger molecules by formation of an infinite network, where no matter what type of objects are linked, there is always a critical gel point at which the system behaves neither as a liquid nor as a solid on any length scale. The Flory-Stockmayer theory and percolation theory provide bases for modeling this sol-gel phase transition. The experimental techniques for measuring the critical exponents for sol-gel phase transitions in different polymeric systems are introduced and the validation of various theoretical predictions are surveyed.en_US
