Gel
A
gel (coined by 19th-century
Scottish chemist Thomas Graham, by
clipping from
gelatine) is a solid,
jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. Gels are defined as a substantially dilute
cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in the steady-state. By weight, gels are mostly liquid, yet they behave like solids due to a three-dimensional cross-linked network within the liquid. It is the crosslinking within the fluid that give a gel its structure (hardness) and contribute to the adhesive stick (
tack). In this way gels are a dispersion of molecules of a liquid within a solid in which the solid is the continuous phase and the liquid is the discontinuous phase.
