	I am seeking the answer to a liquid-gel that can solidify at 37 deg C and return to liquid at 38 deg C, this would be contained in a thin silicon capsule. The use of this capsule is to be inserted into the inner ear canal so as to act as a universal hearing aid. The volume of a liquid gel would be proportional as to its use, and to the perplexity of this problem.

	fab4440, Did you make a typo or are you thinking of putting something in the inner ear? The only canals in there are the semi-circular ones. __________________ "Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it." Elwood P. Dowd

	Hello fab4440 Like TVP45 above, i wonder if you intended the outer ear. The 3 inner-ear canals for each human ear are normally almost filled with specially designed liquid, with each canal having a small bubble of sterile air which acts as the balancing sensors and motion detectors. Were you intending refer: http://www.vibrant-medel.com/professional/int/Physicans/Technology.asp?m=2&u=1 Advise further, with Kind Regards.... __________________ "The number of inventions increases faster than the need for them at the time" - SparkY

	Excuse me, one and all i have emphatically made a typing error,as commented, usually typing and thinking of something else, but the question of resolving a liquid to gel that reacts with in the temperature remains the same.

	There are many kinds of gelatine, from fully refined, to stuff used for printing rollers Maybe you could find something suitable in this line __________________ Don't vote it only encourages them
