Abstract

An apparatus to monitor changes in shrinking gels is described. Gellan gels (10 and 20 g/kg) were immersed in acetone and their shrinkage was monitored for about 1.5 to 2 h. Typical weight ratio vs. time curves were plotted and fitted by an exponential model. Equation constants were calculated. Changes in optical (transmittance) properties were recorded and found to correlate linearly with time.
