Temperature-dependent swelling ratios of PEG-PLLA-DA/NIPAAm hydrogels with/without microspheres. (a) Effect of PEG-PLLA-DA concentrations on hydrogels' swelling ratios. (b) Effect of microsphere load amount on hydrogels' swelling ratios, where “DDS-0,” “DDS-10,” and “DDS-20” stands for hydrogels with 0, 10, and 20 mg/mL microsphere load amount, respectively. Error bars represent standard error (n = 3).
