34. The references of the experimental studies on the critical elasticity of the gel are listed in the references.
35. In references, the exponents are determined in the dilute regions of agarose solutions, c.a., below 0.25 g/100 ml. The spinodal decomposition of the solution does not influence the value of these exponents because the spinodal temperature of the system in these concentration region becomes much lower than the room temperature as shown in Figure.
