Experimental verification of homogeneity in polymer gels

The realization of an ideal polymer network that is free from heterogeneity is one of the ultimate goals in polymer science. Heterogeneity is known to be an inherent property of polymer networks. To realize an ideal polymer network, we need to develop methods to achieve a homogeneous network structure and to confirm the network homogeneity. This is a dilemma, as the former method needs to be verified by the latter method, while the latter method...
