lamellar gel, hydroxypropylcellulose, light scatteringAbstract
The possibility of the existence of lamellar gels has been formulated using the topological approach. The structural peculiarity of the gels of this type consists in that their framework is formed by lamellae. A model of an ideal lamellar gel has been proposed, and its structural parameters have been calculated. The type of defects that can emerge in a real lamellar gel has been determined. A formula has been derived that describes water transport through the surface of lamellar hydrogels. The possibility of the existence of lamellar gels has been confirmed experimentally via light scattering in the aqueous solution of hydroxypropyl cellulose.
