Kinetics and injectability

5 An example from research of the use of rheology to quantify gelation rates. The solid black line shows the original gelation rate, the dotted grey line shows the modified, slower gelation rate. 

6 Image of successful injection of gel into a tube through a 3 catheter at 37°C, into flowing water. This image shows the gel emerging from the catheter and gelling to the side of the tube wall in the laboratory.
