Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description We have discovered how to make anisotropic gels, disulphide-functionalised gels, cross-linked worm gels and hydrolytically degradable worms
Exploitation Route Not sure at this stage, but we are planning to submit a follow-on EPSRC grant proposal in 2018
