| 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 |
| Sectors | Chemicals Healthcare |
