As well as the ingredient compositions, strongly temperature dependent features of the turbidities of poly(acrylamide/malic acid) (AAm/MA) gels have been found in the light transmissivity measurements (λ =600 nm). In addition, nano-scale fractal structures in the turbid gels have been recognized by the small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements at room temperature; and from a positive correlation between the degree of the turbidity and the fractal dimension derived from the SAXS profiles, it has been concluded that the origin of the increase in the light scattering intensity is caused by the densification of the network polymers.
