Epidemic models for phase transitions: application to a physical gel
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)Carrageenan gels are characterized by reversible sol-gel and gel-sol transitions under cooling and heating processes and these transitions are approximated by generalized logistic growth curves. We express the transitions of carrageenan-water system as a representative of reversible physical gels in terms of a modified Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible epidemic model as opposed to the Susceptible-Infected-Removed model used to represent the (irreversible) chemical gel formation in the previous work. ...

Mathematical Characterization of Thermo-reversible Phase Transitions of Agarose Gels
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)The thermal phase transition temperatures of high (HMP) and low melting point (LMP) agarose gels were investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. Transmitted light intensities from the gel samples with different agarose concentrations were monitored during the heating (gel-sol) and cooling (sol-gel) processes. It was observed that the transition temperatures T-m defined as the location of the maximum of the first derivative of the sigmoidal transition paths obtained from the UV-vis ...
