(a) The addition of 0.5% wt/v nSi allowed the GelMA and MκCA prepolymer solutions to exhibit shear-thinning behavior, a decrease in viscosity with increasing shear rate. (b) UV gelation kinetics reveal an increase in storage modulus but no increase in gelation time with incorporation of 0.5% wt/v nSi in either GelMA or MκCA.
