Comparison of swelling behavior of a bioconjugated hydrogel, Hp15, and a non-bioconjugated one, 10, as a function of time at two different pH values.
| Hydrogel | pH | % Swelling ratio at t = 10 min | % Swelling ratio at t = 100 min | % Swelling ratio at t = 1000 min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 6.5 | 450 ± 40 | 450 ± 10 | 490 ± 10 |
| Hp15 | 6.5 | 300 ± 30 | 310 ± 20 | 370 ± 20 |
| 10 | 8.0 | 360 ± 20 | 300 ± 20 | 260 ± 10 |
| Hp15 | 8.0 | 520 ± 30 | 390 ± 30 | 530 ± 20 |
