Abstract

We report the formation of chemical gardens grown in water solutions of polymers. Evolution of the chemical garden depends dramatically on the polymer molecular weight. Solution/air interface plays an important role in the process. Inverse, down-directed growth of the chemical garden in the polymer solutions, based on polymers of high molecular weight, was observed.
