(a) Effects of calcium concentration on the equilibrium compressive modulus Eeq and equilibrium shear modulus Geq, the magnitude of dynamic shear modulus |G*| and phase shift angle δ of alginate hydrogel at 1Hz (n=4; * significant compared to [Ca2+] = 4mM, ** significantly different compared to [Ca2+] = 1.8mM and 4mM, p<0.05, SNK); (b) Changes in the magnitude of dynamic shear modulus (|G*|) of alginate gel with loading frequency (0.01Hz-10Hz) in 0.15M NaCl with various CaCl2 concentrations (n=4; * Significantly different from 0.01Hz; p<0.05, SNK).
