Abstract
The gelation in the sodium carboxymethyl cellullose-Cr3+ salt system w as studied. The critical concentrations of gelation were determined. T he isothermal phase diagrams reflecting the time evolution of syneresi s in gels were constructed. The time dependence of elasticity moduli o f the gels was measured. The kinetic study showed that the elastic mod ulus is proportional to the Cr3+ concentration. The cross-linking in t his system was shown to be of the first order with respect to Cr3+. Th e efficient rate constant of polymer-ion binding k was found to be 0.0 25 h(-1).
