a Equilibrium swell ratios of β-sheets-incorporated hydrogels and cryogels prepared with different Val NCA monomer concentrations (0~360 mg/mL); b Summary of bulk density of dry β-sheets-incorporated cryogels as a function of Val NCA concentrations (noting at higher than 120 mg/mL of Val NCA, the cryogels are non-swellable); c Photos showing the cryogels with different content of β-sheets. All error bars based on standard deviation (n = 3).
