Talk:Gel

message: There was some back and forth reversion of revision 236499516.  I want to clarify the purpose of the edit and why it was reverted by an automated spam catcher.  An incorrect conclusion was drawn from a scientific paper regarding gellation as a phase transition.  I added a DOI link to the article, and while I was there, I corrected a formatting error on an external link (which turned out to be a commercial site, and likely spam.)  This caused the bot to think I added it.  I've added only the correct link in edit 236551270.  This IP is no spammer; check my contribs. 128.138.120.79 (talk) 23:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

: It is SUCH a broad subject...  I was linking to it from my rewrite of Stress ball to describe the different densities of gels used in physical therapy. --Mdwyer 17:29, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean-up 

message: Many of the definitions on this web page are specific to polymer gels.  For example, cross links are not a requirement for low molecular weight gelators.  Does anyone have have thoughts on this?  I think that the page should be renamed or expanded to include LMWGs.Klsyking (talk) 02:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Polymer gels versus low molecular weight gelators 

message: There should be mention in this article about one of the possible effects of using gel regularly, which is the thinning of hair and possibly baldness.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.127.47.40 (talk) 10:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  About gel and baldness 

message: I have found a herbal substance that works in water but not in gels or lotions.  The lotions we have tried are lanoline, silicone oil, petroleum,and other gels which sometimes contain 7% water.  What is the difference?  How can something work in one but not the other.
Thanks,

message: According to the last sentence in the lead, …the solid is the discontinuous phase and the liquid is the continuous phase. This contradicts the the table in Colloid#Classification_of_colloids, which says that for a gel the solid is the continuous and the liquid is dispersed. I checked in my chemistry textbook agrees with the Colloid article. MYCETEAE - talk 07:41, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I asked at Talk:Silica_gel#Gel.3F, but maybe this is a better place. By what definition is silica gel a gel? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 13:33, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
