Representative creep behavior for RLP and PEG hydrogels. Samples were subjected to applied constant shear stresses for 20 min followed by removing the applied shear stresses and monitoring strain change over another 20 min. (A) 5 wt% RLP at constant shear stress 100 Pa(red), 200 Pa(blue), and 500 Pa(green); (B) 10 wt% RLP at constant shear stress 500 Pa(red), 1000 Pa(blue), and 2000 Pa(green); (C) 20 wt% RLP at constant shear stress 1000 Pa(red), 2000 Pa(blue), and 4000 Pa(green) and (D) 10 wt% 4-arm PEG cross-linked hydrogels at constant shear stress 500 Pa(red), 1000 Pa(blue), and 2000 Pa(green).
