Schematic of MeHA/ELP hydrogel formation and chemical structure. (a) HA methacrylation to form MeHA; (b) chemical structure of ELP, indicating the presence of cysteine residues; and (c) schematic diagrams of photo-cross-linking of MeHA/ELP hydrogels and potential application of the adhesive composite. (d) Variation in dynamic viscosity of the ELP and MeHA/ELP prepolymers by temperature, showing phase transition temperature (Tt). (e) A representative SEM image of a MeHA/ELP hydrogel synthesized by 2% MeHA and 10% ELP.
