Temperature threshold for the formation of a
thermoreversible gel.
Notes:
- A thermoreversible gel is usually formed by cooling a polymer solution.
In these cases, the gel temperature is a maximum temperature at which the presence of network is observed.
- Since gel temperatures depend on the method of determination, this should always be indicated.
