Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This invention relates to gels that undergo either oscillatory stepwise expansion or oscillatory expansion and contraction. An oscillatory reaction occurs within the gel, changing the conditions of the gel, and causing the gel to expand and optionally contract. The gels may be used for oscillatory release of a chemical agent.
