Changes in the freezing point of water entrapped in the pores of gels were measured with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The binary MVG gels showed little changes in the freezing point of water during the incubation of the gels over two weeks (a). In contrast, the increases in the freezing point of water in binary MVM gels indicated an increase in the pore diameter of the gels, likely due to significant degradation of the gels (b). Curves (1) and (2) correspond to gels incubated for one day and two weeks, respectively.
