Physicochemical characterization of the blank PEGMC hydrogels. (A) Swelling ratios of the different hydrogel formulations showing greater swelling of 8kDa-H1 hydrogels (n=4). (B) Images of the 8 kDa-H1 hydrogels before and after curing, confirming complete gelation. (C) SEM image confirming porous structure of 8 kDa-H1 hydrogels. (D) Feret’s diameter of pores within the 8 kDa-H1 hydrogels. (E) Compressive stress-strain curves for the PEGMC hydrogel with the load endpoint set at 50N. (F) Dox release from the 8 kDa-H1 hydrogels demonstrating ~70% release in 10 days (n=4).
