Abstract
Thermally reversible gels comprising liquid solvents wherein the solvent is converted into a thermally reversible gel upon the addition of a rigid polymer, preferably, a liquid crystal forming polymer. Structural modifications of the rigid polymer, and in particular modifications of the side-chain, adapt the rigid polymer to form thermally reversible gels in any given solvent media.
