The present invention provides a gel comprising a physical network formed of polymer chain crystallites interconnected by amorphous chain segments. Functionalization of the chain segments between the crystallites forms a blocky distribution of functionality along the chain whereby the functionalities are concentrated in groups consisting of one or more functionalities, separated by non-functionalized runs of crystallizable segments of the polymer. Removal of the solvent from the gels, without reducing the gel volume, forms an aerogel.

Disclosed is an optically softening resin composition, containing: a compound having a disulfide bond; and a radical scavenger. Further disclosed is a curable resin composition, containing: a monomer having a disulfide bond and a functional group; a monomer having a substituent reactive with the functional group; and a radical scavenger.

Disclosed is a protective layer to protect a lithium metal negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery, in which the protective layer may inhibit formation of lithium dendrite and improve thermal/chemical stability, and conductivity of lithium ions. Further, disclosed are a production method of the protective layer, and a lithium secondary battery including the protectively layer. The protective layer contains a poly(arylene ether sulfone)-poly(ethylene glycol) graft copolymer represented by a following Chemical Formula 1:

##STR00001## where, in the Chemical Formula 1, n is an integer of 60 to 80, and m is an integer of 40 to 45.
