4. Gels
The term "gel" covers several possible definitions. The gels in question here are, at the time of synthesis, polymeric semi-solids whose nanometer-sized pores are filled with the solvent in which they were created . However, the term "gel" also applies to these same materials, which have been dried in such a way that the initially liquid-saturated pores are now freed and filled with air. It will then be necessary to specify whether we are talking about fresh gels (often referred to as "aquagels" or "alkogels", depending on whether they have been prepared in an aqueous or alcoholic solution, respectively), or...
