Gel

A gel (coined by 19th-century Scottish chemist Thomas Graham, by clipping from gelatine) is a solid, jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. Gels are defined as a substantially dilute cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in the steady-state. By weight, gels are mostly liquid, yet they behave like solids due to a three-dimensional cross-linked network within the liquid. It is the crosslinking within the fluid that give a gel its structure (hardness) and contribute to the adhesive stick (tack). In this way gels are a dispersion of molecules of a liquid within a solid in which the solid is the continuous phase and the liquid is the discontinuous phase.

Gel: Nonfluid colloidal network or polymer network that is expanded throughout its whole volume by a fluid.

Note 1: A gel has a finite, usually rather small, yield stress.

Note 2: A gel can contain:

Note 3: Corrected from ref., where the definition is via the property identified in Note 1 (above) rather than of the structural characteristics that describe a gel.
