ABSTRACT
Using laser light scattering, photon correlation and spectral analysis, it was shown that cervical mucus is a non-Newtonian Hydrogel with large meshes (approximately 5 microns). The experimental results are in agreement with a model of hydrogel with weak linkages and are definitely not compatible with a model of entangled macromolecules. Large oscillations, induced by both thermal and mechanical excitation, have been observed in this medium, probably due to its non-Newtonian character.
