Abstract

From the data on the translational mobility of macromolecules the authors have studied the processes of gelation and the structure of the gels in a gelatine-water system. Gelatine gels were found to contain freely moving macromolecules (sol fraction) and some macromolecules, portions of which, experience restrictions in movement (macromolecules forming the gel network). The size of the restrictions depends on the concentration of the solution and the time of holding at the given temperature. The dependences of the fraction of macromolecules forming the gel network on the gelation time have been obtained. An anomaly of the dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient of macromolecules on temperature during gelation was found.
