Abstract

A phase-transition gel and a method of forming a phase-transition gel which undergoes a significant discontinuous volume change at a desired phase-transition condition in response to a stimulus is disclosed. The phase transition gel includes a liquid medium gelled with a polymer network which has a phase transition condition different from that desired and a phase-transition-modifying agent sufficient to cause, in response to the stimulus, the discontinuous volume change of the gel at the desired phase-transition condition.
