Figure 2.
(A) Viscosities of MWCNT-alginate (1 mg/ml) plotted versus increasing shear rates (rpm). (B) Absorbance assay tracking gel formation for MWCNT-alginate (1 mg/ml) at increasing time points from 0–15 min. For A and B, legend in shown in box in the bottom right corner. (C) Representative en-face images of MWCNT-alginate gels both functionalized (top) and non-functionalized (bottom) shown for comparison. Scale bar is 4 mm in the top panel and 2 mm in the bottom panel respectively. Shown also is a representative disc-shaped punch out gel of pure alginate (scale bar = 4 mm).
