Properties of crosslinking reactions of hydrogels.
| Hydrogel | Principle | Cross-linking method | Reversible or not | Forming efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alginate [37] | Linking between calcium ion and alginate | Chemical cross-linking | Irreversible | High-speed |
| Gelatin [38] | Thermosensitive cross-linking | Physical cross-linking | Reversible | Low-speed |
| GelMA [39] | Thermosensitive cross-linking | Physical cross-linking | Reversible | Low-speed |
| GelMA [40] | Photo-crosslinking | Chemical cross-linking | Irreversible | High-speed |
