Physical Gels

Physical Gels is a type of gel in which the three-dimensional network structure is formed and stabilized by reversible, non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, hydrophobic interactions, or physical entanglements, distinguishing it from chemical gels that rely on irreversible covalent cross-links.
