Differences between M8 and S8
However, the researchers said some differences between the two agents were reported. For example, M8 gels were opaque in appearance, while those made with S8 were translucent. This was because M8 yields a more densely packed network while the network of S8 gels consisted of needle-like microcrstallites.
M8 was found to be a more efficient gelator, producing stronger gels. However, Professor John said that S8 gels,
