Abstract
Agarose hydrogels deswell reversibly over a wide range of concentratio n. Two types of deswelling measurements are considered here, isotropic and uniaxial. We describe some of the properties of the gels observed in the deswollen state. In both the isotropic and uniaxial geometry, the swelling pressure varies approximately as the square of the concen tration.
