Abstract
The static viscosity and the shear elastic modulus of P4BCMU in toluene in the red phase have been studied at concentrations
above the concentration threshold for the gel transition. Two main results are emphasized. The elastic behaviour of P4BCMU
gel gives experimental evidence for the scalar percolation theory. The color transition, yellow to red, and the gel transition
appear at different temperatures: the color transition is observed at a temperature higher than the gel transition temperature.
