Article Abstract
Controlling the formation and directional growth of hydrogels is a challenge. In this paper, a new methodology to program the gel formation both over space and time is proposed, using the diffusion and subsequent hydrolysis of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole from an immiscible organic solution to the aqueous gel media.
