Viscosity Flow Curves of Agar and the <i>Bounded Ripening Growth</i> Model of the Gelation Onset

The gelation kinetics of agar aqueous solutions were studied by means of the viscosity flow curves using a coaxial Couette cylinder viscometer. The viscosity curves show an unusual sigmoidal trend or an exponential decay to a viscous steady state. An original theory of gelation kinetics was develope...
