"Time-Temperature superposition law for viscoelasticity in gels with homogeneous network structure."

Using a gel with a very uniform and controllable structure, we aimed to clarify the viscoelasticity law during the gelation process. The experimental result showed that time-Temperature superposition law holds for gels, and the shift factor is found to be independent of the network structure.

Your impression & future plan

I am very honored to receive this award. I hope to continue to make great progress in the physics of gels.
