Collapse of Gels and the Critical Endpoint
Abstract
Collapse of polyacrylamide gels is observed upon changing temperature or fluid composition. It is explained in terms of mean-field theory based on the extension of Flory's formula for free energy of gels. Theory predicts, and I have observed, existence of a critical endpoint in the phase equilibria.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
