Degradation time of hydrogels prepared using various 4KG5 end-groups and at various mass fractions. The characterization of the hydrogels was performed in triplicate.
| Hydrogel | Weight % | Degradation Time Constant τ (hr) |
Degradation Time (days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4KG5 DA | 10% | 13.7 ± 0.3 | 4 ± 0.2 |
| 20% | 57.1 ± 1.2 | 8 ± 0.4 | |
| 4KG5 DM | 10% | 33.4 ± 0.7 | 14 ± 0.7 |
| 20% | 105.3 ± 2.1 | 27 ± 1.3 | |
| 4KG5 UDM | 10% | 7.5 ± 0.2 | 1 ± 0.1 |
| 20% | 12.6 ± 0.3 | 5 ± 0.2 |
