Gradient hydrogel based on self-filtration
Résumé
Understanding and mastering gelation of biopolymer is important for controlling the structure of gels and open the way to the design of micro-objects with a gradient of physical properties. In this study, we investigated the gelation between a calcium solution and a suspension of biopolymers. We showed that spontaneous osmotic flow through the gel controls its formation and can be used to a create concentration gradients.
