Gel A gel (coined by 19th-century Scottish chemist Thomas Graham, by clipping from gelatine) is a solid, jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. Gels are defined as a substantially dilute cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in the steady-state.ydrogels are highly absorbent (they can contain over 90% water) natural or synthetic polymeric networks. Hydrogels also possess a degree of flexibility very similar to natural tissue, due to their significant water content. The first appearance of the term 'hydrogel' in the literature was in 1894.

What are Emollients? Emollients, also commonly referred to as moisturizers, are products that help to soften skin or to treat skin that has become dry. Most emollients are forms of oil or grease, such as mineral oil, squalene, and lanolin. They work by increasing the ability of the skin to hold water, providing the skin with a layer of oil to prevent water loss, and lubricating the skin.

Gel For other uses, see Gel (disambiguation) . An upturned vial of hair gel. A gel (coined by 19th-century Scottish chemist Thomas Graham, by clipping from gelatine) is a solid, jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough.ydrogel: Gel in which the swelling agent is water. Note 1: The network component of a hydrogel is usually a polymer network. Note 2: A hydrogel in which the network component is a colloidal network may be referred to as an aquagel. Note 3: Definition quoted from refs.

What is colloidal emulsion? An emulsion has liquid particles dispersed in a liquid medium. An emulsion is a type of colloidal solution consisting of liquid(dispersed phase) mixed in another liquid(dispersing medium), so the mixture is an emulsion.A gel is a colloid of liquid(dispersed medium) mixed with solids.(eg-butter) 4 people found this useful.

Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff. A hydrocele (HI-droe-seel) is a fluid-filled sac surrounding a testicle that causes swelling in the scrotum. Hydrocele is common in newborns and usually disappears without treatment during the first year of life. Older boys and adult men can develop a hydrocele due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum.

- Remember that the feeder roots of established plants will not be right next to the crown but rather a distance away. Hydrogel is a polymer that works by absorbing water like a sponge and releasing this water over a prolonged period of time when the surrounding soil dries out.

Lipid Molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates have an affinity for water and are called hydrophilic (“water-loving”). Lipids, however, are hydrophobic (“water-fearing”). Some lipids are amphipathic—part of their structure is hydrophilic and another part, usually a larger section, is hydrophobic.

Gel Common uses for hydrogels include: 1  Scaffolds in tissue engineering. When used as scaffolds, hydrogels may contain human cells to repair tissue. 2  Hydrogel-coated wells have been used for cell culture. 3  Environmentally sensitive hydrogels (also known as 'Smart Gels' or 'Intelligent Gels').

Oil emulsions Oil emulsions. An emulsion is a dispersion (droplets) of one liquid in another immiscible liquid. The phase that is present in the form of droplets is the dispersed or internal phase, and the phase in which the droplets are suspended is called the continuous or external phase.ater-in-oil emulsions consist of water droplets in a continuous oil phase, and oil-in-water emulsions consist of oil droplets in a water-continuous phase. Figs. 1 and 2 show the two basic (water-in-oil and oil-in-water) types of emulsions.

Hydrocolloid dressing A hydrocolloid dressing is an opaque or transparent dressing for wounds. A hydrocolloid dressing is biodegradeable, non-breathable, and adheres to the skin, so no separate taping is needed. The active surface of the dressing is coated with a cross-linked adhesive mass containing a dispersion of gelatin, pectin and carboxy-methylcellulose together with other polymers and adhesives forming a flexible wafer. In contact with wound exudate, the polysaccharides and other polymers absorb water and swel

Hydrotherapy What is Hydrotherapy? Hydrotherapy is an alternative therapy that uses water to help cure illness and maintain good health. Hydrotherapy makes use of water in a variety of different forms, including steam, and ice, in order to relieve muscle pain, increase circulation, and improve health. Also known as balneotherapy, hydrotherapy is practiced by licensed hydrotherapists and naturopaths.

Scientists develop new way to grow adult stem cells in culture To find out if the cells would be happier on a softer, more giving surface, they had to develop an entirely new culture system. They turned to a material called hydrogel, which is made up of a latticework of polyethylene glycol polymers filled with water.

Hydrophile Hydrophile - Molecules. 1  A hydrophilic molecule or portion of a molecule is one whose interactions with water and other polar substances are more thermodynamically favorable than their interactions with oil or other hydrophobic solvents. [2] [3] They are typically charge-polarized and capable of hydrogen bonding.

Hydrostatics Hydrostatics is the branch of fluid mechanics that studies incompressible fluids at rest. It encompasses the study of the conditions under which fluids are at rest in stable equilibrium as opposed to fluid dynamics, the study of fluids in motion. Hydrostatics are categorized as a part of the fluid statics, which is the study of all fluids, incompressible or not, at rest. Hydrostatics is fundamental to hydraulics, the engineering of equipment for storing, transporting and using fluids.

- Collagen peptide is the hydrolysed form of collagen, a fibrous protein present in the Extracellurlar Matrix of living cells. After hydrolysis the product loses its gelling ability and makes it soluble in cold water. Collagen Peptide is also known as Collagen Hydrolysate, Gelatin Hydrolysate, Hydrolysed Collagen.
