  1. - APS: 0.021 g and TEMED: 30 μL were used for all hydrogels,
  2. - PD: poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide), L: laponite, and F: Fe3O4,
  3. - H: hydrogel, NCH: nanocomposite hydrogel, and MR_NCH: magnetic responsive nanocomposite hydrogel,
  4. - *Too high viscosity of the pre-gel solution or mixture to fabricate hydrogels.
