Elucidating Dual Methylcellulose-and-Oil-Nanoemulsion Thermoresponsive Gelation

The rheological properties of a colloidal gel depend upon the microstructure of the gel and the identity of the load-bearing elements. Here we demonstrate a hybrid hydrogel-colloidal gel system composed of a methylcellulose-stabilized oil nanoemulsion. This system has tunable rheology with two disti...
