Clouding Properties of Maleic Acid/Acrylamide Gels

Abstract

Clouding-feature observations were made for several maleic acid/acrylamide (MA/AAm) gels with different fractions of MA and cross-linker concentrations for the first time. In the investigations, both of the conditions were found to considerably influence the turbidity of the MA/AAm gels. In addition, it was also found that turbidity of some MA/AAm gels changes with temperature, which indicates the inhomogeneity alteration.
