<p>Dry material which can be hydrated into an aqueous gel comprising (1) a matrix comprising a macromolecular substance A, capable of forming a porous aqueous gel when it is in the presence of water, (2) a water-soluble linear polymer B, (3) a plasticizer for the macromolecular substance A and, (4) dispersed in the matrix, particles of a polymer C obtained from at least one water-immiscible monomer. The material can be obtained by mixing an aqueous solution of A with the polymer B, the plasticizer and a latex of polymer C, followed by cooling, shaping and drying of the aqueous gel obtained. The dry material can be used in biological applications after rehydration.</p> |
