a) Thermal relaxation at 25 °C for equilibrium swollen 5 wt% 8-arm PEG-VS hydrogel containing the photoresponsive peptide after irradiation with 365 nm light (10 mW/cm2, 5 min); b) thermal relaxation at 37 °C; c) kinetic plots show that the relaxation behavior follows first-order kinetics and yields a half life of 162.3 hours at 25°C and 9.2 hours at 37°C.
