Abstract
-VAA)). The critical gelation concentration was found to be 10 wt% by rheology and NMR. UV-vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering reveal the formation of aggregates in the gel. Rheology and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to show the effect of thermal curing on the mechanical properties of the physical gel.
