| Abstract | Physical gels with remarkable properties were obtained by copolymerization of acrylamide with the hydrophobic monomer stearyl methacrylate (C18) in a micellar solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) containing up to 15 mol% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The addition of SDS causes the CTAB micelles to grow and thus enables solubilization of C18. The gels exhibit time-dependent dynamic moduli, high elongation ratios at break (1800–5000%), and self-healing, as evidenced by rheological and mechanical measurements and substantiated by dynamic light scattering. As the size of the micelles in the gelation solution increases, both the degree of temporary spatial inhomogeneity and the lifetime of hydrophobic associations in the gels increase while the elongation ratio at break decreases. Although the physical gels were insoluble in water due to strong hydrophobic interactions, they could be solubilized in surfactant solutions thus providing a means of characterization of the network chains. Viscometric and rheological behaviors of polymer solutions show a substantial increase in the associativity of the network chains with rising micelle size, which results in prolonged lifetime of hydrophobic associations acting as physical cross-links in gels. The internal dynamics of self-healing gels could thus be controlled by the associativity of the network chains which in turn depends on the size of CTAB micelles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
