Abstract
The original support for this project was reduced because of the perceived high risk of failure. After 18 months, we are now able to clearly demonstrate the feasibility of our approach for producing responsive hydrogels based on biological recognition phenomena. In this proposal we seek to optimise the membrane properties, such as porosity, by varying reaction conditions (e.g. pH, and reactant concentrations), to extend the versatility of the system by synthesising membranes containing different ligand and receptor couples and to construct mechanistic models, based on kinetic and equilibrium data that will allow prediction of the membrane properties.
