Table 1.

Summary of cell culture substrate mechanical properties and their time dependence (or viscoelasticity) and time evolution (or change in properties with time).

Change in Properties with Time Viscoelasticity Parameter(s): Examples of Typical Substrates Refs
Elastic no no E GTA or genepin crosslinked gelatin, Ha/Gel, PAAm [8,9,10,11]
Viscoelastic no yes Ei, ηi PAAm, alginate, agarose [22,23,24,25]
Dynamic/time-evolving Elastic yes no E (t) PEG-thiol, HA/PEGDA, Ca2+-liposome loaded alginate [12,13,14,18]
Dynamic/time-evolving Viscoelastic yes yes Ei (t), ηi (t) Magneto active PAAm, HA-based gels [26,27,28,29]
