Abstract
⺠Explored diffusion in wet silica gels relevant to biological encapsulation. ⺠Used a variety of tracers and gel compositions. ⺠Tracer size, not gel hydrophobicity, is the primary determinant of diffusion. ⺠Gels can be tailored to the bio-component without significantly altering diffusion. ⺠Diffusion adequate to support viable photoautotrophic organisms.
