Polymer Gels

Polymer Gels is a type of yield stress material composed of a three-dimensional polymer network that immobilizes a liquid phase, distinguished by its ability to exhibit solid-like mechanical behavior under static conditions while undergoing reversible sol-gel transitions in response to external stimuli.
