  1. aAcronyms represent the mass ratio of SiNP-P:CNT-P subjected to RCA polymerization
  2. bGiven in μg mL−1
  3. cElastic plateau modulus determined by multiple particle tracking (MPT) after 48 h RCA reaction time using tracer particles of diameter 0.5 and 1.0 µm for samples 1 and 2–7, respectively.
  4. dMolecular diffusion coefficient of FITC-dextran (70 kDa), determined by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiment after 48 h RCA reaction time
  5. eStatic water contact angle (WCA) determined by the sessile drop method after 48 h RCA reaction time and 4 h vacuum drying. All data in (c), (d), and (e) are represented by mean ± standard deviation (S.D.) of triplicate samples
