A different type of self-organization in a hydrogel is described. In this self-organization, a cylindrical piece of gel transforms into a completely hollow spherical or ellipsoidal object in the presence of specific transition metal ions. It is shown that only certain gels, which have a critical balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in their chemical structure, demonstrate the self-organization from solid cylinder to hollow sphere.
