(A) Hydrogelation of PBA-MDP as observed by vial inversion under different glucose conditions. (B) Evolution of the storage modulus (G’, solid, left axis) and complex viscosity (η, dashed, right axis) over time following addition of glucose and application onto the rheometer. (C) Glucose-dependent changes in the plateau storage modulus (G’, solid, left axis) and complex viscosity (η, open, right axis), from n=2 samples/group (mean ± SD shown). (D) Shear viscosity ramp and (E) step-strain cycling from 1% to 100% strain for a PBA-MDP hydrogel prepared in 100 mg/dL glucose.
