1.1 Chemical gel
For example, consider the cross-linking process shown in figure 1 .
When the rheological properties of a reaction medium are studied at a temperature above its glass transition temperature, a discontinuity known as the "sol-gel transition" is observed, illustrated by the variation in viscosity and Young's or shear modulus over time (Figure 2 ).
