Abstract

An interesting case of soft condensed matter are microemulsion-mediated polymer networks. Depending on the strength of the polymerwater or polymer-oil domain interactions, a variety of networks is formed extending from stable gels to fluids, displaying purely viscous flow. Details of the formation and properties of the networks formed will be discussed. Of particular interest is the regime of viscoelastic networks. It is tempting to compare experimental data from rheometric oscillatory measurements of such systems with predictions of the mode coupling theory. Preliminary results are presented.
