Figure 3. Temperature dependent loss of elastic modulus, G′ (circles), and viscous modulus, G″ (diamonds), and a curve between Tan δ versus Temperature (triangles), with minima at Tg of (A) NEOG A, (B) NEOG B and (C) NEOG C. The curves are plotted by the best sigmoidal fit of the data points.

Figure 4. Frequency (ω) dependence of G′ (circles) and G″ (diamonds) in three organogel systems (A) NEOG A, (B) NEOG B and (C) NEOG C. Relaxation exponents were calculated from their slopes.

Figure 5. Percent drug released versus time curve. The inset shows log (% drug released) versus log T to obtain a power law exponent, which correlates well with direct fitting of the curve to the power law equation.
