...Both models predict similar phase diagrams to those observed in Tanaka et al. (1979), but the different assumptions for the post-gel regime, which result in different cluster-size distributions, also lead to different predictions of the thermodynamic nature of gelation....

...The phase diagram is very similar to the experimental results obtained for gelatin solution by Tanaka et al. (1979) and theoretical calculations by Tanaka (1989) and by Semenov and Rubinstein (1998a)....

...The scaling e ∼ N−1 is also obtained by Tanaka et al. (1979) for the gelation line, 20 while our result has no a priori assumption of the appearance of the gel phase....

...Comparing the phase diagram to experimental observations by Tanaka et al. (1979), we may conclude that the gelation is an incomplete microphase transition which manifests the underlying spinodal instability....

...The sol-gel transition intersects the phase coexistence at a tricritical point which depends on the solvent property (see Tanaka et al., 1979)....

...The most dramatic manifestation of the first step is the existence of disordered-spherical-micelle state in highly asymmetric copolymer melts, which almost has the appearance of a distinct phase between the featureless disordered phase and the bcc-ordered phase (Adams et al., 1994, 1996; Schwab and Stühn, 1996; Kim et al., 1999; Han et al., 2000; Sota et al., 2003; Choi et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2002)....

...However, experiments show that between the featureless disordered phase and the ordered bcc phase, there exists an intervening disordered-micelle state (Adams et al., 1994, 1996; Schwab and Stühn, 1996; Kim et al., 1999; Han et al., 2000; Sota et al., 2003; Choi et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2002; Semenov, 1989; Dormidontova and Lodge, 2001)....

...This viewpoint is further supported by the multitude of complex behaviors of soft and biological matter, which typically involve objects of large spatial extensions, such as long polymers or membranes, and a confluent of energy and time scales of different interactions (Phillips and Quake, 2006)....

...Despite the complexity of these interactions, researchers have been successful in explaining many experimental observations from thermodynamic and physico-chemical analysis, and many features of cell adhesion can be qualitatively understood from basic physical principles (Bell, 1978; Bell et al., 1984; Torney et al., 1986; Coombs et al., 2004; Flyvbjerg et al., 1997; Zukerman and Bruinsma, 1995; Lipowsky, 1996; Bruinsma et al., 2000; Boulbitch et al., 2001; Bruinsma and Sackmann, 2002; Sackmann and Bruinsma, 2002; Sackmann and Goennenwein, 2006)....
