Construction of injectable NPG scaffolds. (a) Photograph of Poria cocos and Liquidambar formosana, and structures of compounds 1–3. (b) The 1–3/NPG (at 1.6%, 1.0%, 0.25% w/v, respectively. ethanol:water=1:1) and their micromorphology (including SEM and TEM). (c) Self-healing of 3/NPG (ten destruction-recovery cycles of 3/NPG, 0.4% w/v, ethanol:water= 1:1). (d) Controlled gelation and mechanical properties of 3/NPG at varying gelator concentrations, ethanol:water=1:1. (e) Controlled gelation and mechanical properties of 3/NPG at varying ratio of ethanol to water, 0.8% w/v). (f) Implant safety of 3/NPG (red circle corresponds to the injection site, multi-wavelength data on black background, luminescence data on blue background).
