polymer network, dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopyAbstract
It has been shown that the network in rigid-chain polymer gels has a specific shape: the role of nodes in this network is played by flat aggregates formed by folded polymer chains. A mechanism for the emergence of such a network has been proposed, and its existence in metolose hydrogels has been confirmed experimentally using the dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy methods.
