Characterization of the gel matrix. a The Ornstein-Zernike plot of the inverse average scattering intensity 1/I(q) measured by static light scattering of the host gel versus q2, yielding the mesh size ξ = 48.6 ± 1.5 nm. I(q) is averaged over 3 independent measurements. b Normalized field-correlation function g1(q, t) at different scattering angles for the gel matrix with 0.1 M NaCl measured by dynamic light scattering. The blue open triangles are the residuals between the fitting curve and the original data of g1(q, t) at the scattering angle of 30° as an example. c Corresponding relaxation time distribution function obtained from CONTIN fit at different scattering angles for the gel matrix. d q2 dependence of the relaxation rate Γ1 of the first mode for the gel matrix. e Relaxation rate of the second mode Γ2 as a function of q2 for the gel matrix
