Heterogeneous systems polysaccharide gels

Controlled application of different kinds of stress, in particular, thermal, mechanical, and (bio)chemical impacts, supplies information about the response capabilities of solvent/polysaccharide systems and provides data on phase transitions, disintegration or reorganization phenomena, gel qualities, and degree of resistance or stability. But even there, any of the obtained characteristics may occur as distributions, illustrating that heterogeneity is a generic quality of polysaccharides.
