Highly viscous, transparent, and unchanged after one year of storage , concentrated gels with potential medical applications can be prepared from fluorocarbons, small amounts of water, and a fluorinated surfactant. These gels form polyhedral domains of fluorocarbon surrounded by thin shells of hydrated surfactant.
