Abstract
In the present paper, the thermoreversible gelation of organic liquids emul sified in an aqueous phase using gelatin as gelling agent has been investig ated. After steplike cooling of a dispersion of oil, water, soap and gelati n from 45 to 26 degrees C strong three-dimensional networks were obtained i n relatively short gelling times. The rheological properties of the system during and after the gel formation have been determined by an oscillating s hear deformation in a dynamic experiment.
