Fig. 6

Networks obtained using different Val NCA monomer concentrations (0~360 mg/mL): a, c Compression strain-stress curves of hydrogels and cryogels respectively; b, d Compression moduli (stiffness) of hydrogels and cryogels respectively, as a function of Val NCA monomer concentrations; e Strength and toughness of hydrogels; f Strength and compression at break (compressibility) of hydrogels with glycine inclusion. All error bars represent standard deviation (n = 3).
