Abstract

The contribution of thermal analysis, and particularly of temperature-concentration phase diagrams to the understanding of the phenomenon of thermoreversible gelation is illustrated for two different cases. The important role played by the solvent in the thermoreversible gelation of syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) is emphasized. The heterogeneous nucleation of the gelation of isotactic polystyrene by a self-assembling bicopper complex is presented.
