(a) Amplitude sweep rheographs for the photopolymerized RLP-4AC (10 wt %), E3CY- Ca2+ (1 wt %), thiol-ene photoclicked RLP-4AC (20 wt %)_E3CY (2 wt %), and RLP (20 wt %)_E3CY (2 wt %). (b) Tan (δ) versus strain rheographs for the photopolymerized RLP-4AC (10 wt %), E3CY-Ca2+ (1 wt %) and thiol-ene photoclicked RLP-4AC (20 wt %)_E3CY (2 wt %), and RLP (20 wt %)_E3CY (2 wt %). Step-strain measurements with applied oscillatory strain alternated between 10 and 1000% for 100, 200, 200, 200 and 400 s (f = 1 Hz, 20 °C) on (c) photopolymerized RLP-4AC and (d) photoclicked RLP-4AC_E3CY hydrogels.
