Preparation of hydrogels; 20 μL of homogenized nanoclay (78.6 mg) in deionized water (1 mL) were added to homogenized (A) CysMA or (B) MA 1 mL (0.5 M), followed by Poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (20 μL), KPS (5 mg) and TEMED (1 μL). The mixed solution was then added to the mold, waiting for the end of the reaction. Bar = 0.5 cm.
