Compressive elastic modulus (E) and swelling ratio (Q) of the 5 wt.-% gels used in studies. The weight fraction of high-MW (W(high MW)) and low-MW (W(low MW)) polymer, containing either a high (MVG) or low fraction of G blocks (MVM), are indicated for each gel type.f
| Hydrogels | W(High MW) | W(Low MW) | E [kPa] | Q |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unary MVG | 1.0 | 0 | 135±11 | 16±0.5 |
| Unary low MW MVG | 0 | 1.0 | 110±9 | 19±2 |
| Binary MVG | 0.5 | 0.5 | 130±10 | 20±0.3 |
| Unary MVM | 1.0 | 0 | 54±6 | 25±0.6 |
| Binary MVM I | 0.5 | 0.5 | 90±4 | 22±0.1 |
