Figure 3. Guest-host assembled polymer-nanoparticle hydrogels are shear-thinning and self-healing for ease of injection.

Figure 3.

A) Stress (dark purple, circle) and viscosity (light purple, square) of 82 kDa Ad-HA (High) as a function of shear rate. B) Shear-thinning and self-healing characterization of optimally formulated 82 kDa Ad-HA (High) hydrogel (7.5%w/v) under repeated deformation at 1.0% (low, shaded) and 500% (high) strain at 10.0 Hz; G’ (dark purple, circle), G” (light purple, square). C) Strain amplitude sweep of 82 kDa Ad-HA (High); G’ (dark purple, circle), G” (light purple, square). D) Representative images of hydrogel injection; 28G needle, 1 mL syringe.
