“Off-the-shelf” thermoresponsive hydrogel design: tuning hydrogel properties by mixing precursor polymers with different lower-critical solution temperatures Journal Articles

Mixing POEGMA precursor polymers with different LCSTs leads to linear changes in macroscopic gel properties (e.g. mechanics, swelling) but non-linear changes in properties dependent on gel microstructure (e.g. protein adsorption, cell adhesion).
