Abstract
Processes of self-organization and gelation in a low-concentration aqueous solution of l-cysteine and silver nitrate were studied using singly, doubly, and triply charged metal chlorides as gelation initiators. According to the results of studies by viscometry and scanning electron microscopy, the rheological and morphological characteristics of gels directly depend on the chemical nature and charge of the metal. This correlates well with the results of dynamic light scattering studies and zeta-potential measurements of particles responsible for the formation of the spatial gel network. IR spectroscopic analysis confirms the possibility of the interaction between the metal cations and the surface of particles forming in the solution, their binding to each other, and further gel formation. A possible mechanism of gel formation in this system is proposed based on an integrated approach.
