Table 1.

Experimental data generated from rheological studies of native and conjugate hydrogels.

Samples a Yield (% w/w) Shear Viscosity (mPas) b Thixotropic Area, Ar (%) c
Na-Alg NA 339.22 0.59
Alg-ASA (1:0.5) 59.0 1040.20 24.83
Alg-ASA (1:1) 66.0 8095.30 26.23
Alg-ASA (1:2) 73.0 NA NA

a Concentration of sample were 3% (w/v), at pH 5–6 at 37 °C; b Shear viscosity is reported from shear viscosity vs. shear rate (shear rate 100 s−1); c Data presented values are the average of three measurements.
