Salam, Aalia, In my company, we synthesize new molecules, mainly as new drug candidates, e g for cancer treatment. I could help you, if you could explain what kind of gel you're working with , in shallah. I've experience of many gel systems for use in pharmaceutical products and cosmetics. What properties of the gel are you looking for ? / Mah Salamah min Johan Carlfors li : www.ontarget.chemistry.com , Uppsala, Sweden.
w.salam Johan. I need to prepare a breast phantom having need to incorporate a known volume of fat and fibroglandular tissue-mimicking material for MR imaging. Currently I am working on a project of evaluation of volumetric fibroglandular tissue on breast MR images.
Shokran. Tayyid. This gel application is new and intersting for me. I like that. Lubrizol company produce and sell good quality alkyl acrylic gels, easy to prepare, in various types for different applications. A gel that can incorporate both hydrophilic and hydrophodic contents is their Pemulen gels. Why not try those for your application ? They may also be combined Lubrizol's other gels to further modify the physical properties of the gel. You can visit the homepage for Pemulen gels : https://www.lubrizol.com/PersonalCare/Products/Pemulen/default.html

I work at a CRO Company that synthesize new drug candidates and develop new drug, cosmetic and technical formulations. / Tussbi ala kheyr min Johan Carlfors min : www,ontargetchemistry.com , fi Uppsala, Sweden.
Thanks for your reply Johan. Anthropomorphic gel can be reformed to any shape, due to which i am interested.
You will get the shape you want if you make the gel in a vessel with the desired shape, but to get it strong enough, you will probably use higher concentrations of the gelling cross-linked polymer. maybe one percent or higher. The gels I mentioned have lower viscosity at low pH, where you easily can fill the vessels. To make them stiff, when are in place, you can increase the pH. / Saba al kheyr, min Johan.
Please go through this article; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11996066
Also you may use plantago ovata husk gel to get any shape but certainly it needs some technique to form phantoms using this material.
Best of luck.
The interesting discussion, good luck dear aalia, The one that was made by Dr. Saeed Buzdar is not useful for your work, Have you talk to Dr. Buzdar ?
Thanks Mr Asghar for your reply. Dr Saeed Buzdar had prepared normoxic gel but I need to prepare anthropomorphic gel specially of the composition of breast phantom having fat and fibroglandular tissues (of known volume).
I don't know about these type of gels Dr Tariq, Could you please tell me if it has properties of my desired phantom?
Though I am not related with your field as we aim to use these gels for drug delivery but I hope that these can be modified as desired.
This work might be helpful to you
