(a,b) Effects of ANG polymerization time (a, NIPAM concentration is fixed as 1.5 mol l−1) and NIPAM monomer concentration (b, tp=40 min) on the Young’s moduli (E) of NSG hydrogels at the tensile strain of 50%. (c,d), Effects of ANG polymerization time, NIPAM monomer concentration and ANG nanogel concentration on the elongation ratio at break (εb) of NSG hydrogels of various compositions at room temperature (c) and body temperature (d).
