Because of their structural characteristics, gels play important roles in science and technology. The science of gels has attracted much attention since the discovery of the volume phase transition by Professor Toyoichi Tanala at MIT in 1978. MDPI planned to publish a Special Issue in Gels to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this discovery, which received submissions of 13 original papers and one review from various areas of science. We believe that readers will find this Special Issue informative as to the recent advancements of gel research and the broad background of gel science. 610 $adelamination 610 $afractal analysis 610 $abuckling 610 $aartificial hydrogel cartilage 610 $africtional property 610 $akinetic coefficient 610 $apaint coating 610 $ascaling analysis 610 $amoving boundary picture 610 $aXRD 610 $avolume phase transition 610 $afracture 610 $afatigue 610 $acrack 610 $agelation temperature 610 $axerogel 610 $aswelling of thermosensitive gels 610 $acopolymerization 610 $aphase transition dynamics 610 $awetting 610 $apoly (acryl amide) gel 610 $aswelling 610 $asucrose 610 $aanisotropic shape 610 $aice crystallization during rewarming 610 $amicropipette aspiration 610 $amicrogel 610 $acrosslink density (density of crosslinks) 610 $ahydrogel 610 $aSephadex® (crosslinked dextran) 610 $asol-gel transition 610 $athermoresponsive property 610 $acompression 610 $aBrunauer-Emmett-Teller theory 610 $amonomer sequence 610 $amicrocrystallite 610 $aswelling behavior 610 $amicrometric confinement 610 $awear 610 $alight scattering 610 $aX-ray CT 610 $aco-crosslinking 610 $aelectrophoresis 610 $agel 610 $ahysteresis 610 $aice grain 610 $aeffects of electric charge 610 $aphase separation 610 $aacrylamide derivative 610 $aBarrett-Joyner-Halenda analysis 610 $atemperature 610 $axylitol 610 $aagarose gel 610 $aspinodal temperature 610 $aglassy water 610 $achemical gel 610 $ablood coagulation 610 $apoly(vinyl alcohol) 610 $apulse field gradient spin echo method of nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR) 610 $atime domain reflectometry (TDR) of dielectric spectroscopy 610 $asite-bond correlated-percolation model for polymer gelation 610 $aspinodal decomposition 610 $aadhesion 610 $ajanus particle 610 $awrinkle 610 $afriction 610 $acloud point temperature 610 $adrying 610 $agamma ray sterilization 610 $asolvent exchange 610 $asolids content 610 $asolvent transport 610 $aheterogeneous gelation dynamics 610 $aPVA gel 610 $ahydrogen bond 700 $aTokita$b Masayuki$4auth$01328951 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367567403321 996 $aAdvancements in Gel Science-A Special Issue in Memory of Toyoichi Tanaka$93645503 997 $aUNINA
