Porous films were fractured in liquid nitrogen and sputter-coated with gold. The dielectric properties were measured by an impedance analyzer (Julang Technology, TZDM-200-300, China) within a frequency range of 50–106 Hz at normal temperature. Contact angle measurement (JC2000D, China) was used to evaluate the hydrophobic properties.

Hydrogel Swelling and Enzymatic Degradation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hydrogel swell ratio was analyzed as follows. The hydrogels were lyophilized until dry. To ensure the success of the reaction, HAMA and MA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (Nicolet AVA TAR370, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Dry weight (Wd) was measured. Dried hydrogel samples (n = 3) were immersed in 50 mL of PBS at 37°C and allowed to swell. Swollen hydrogel samples were weighed to determine swollen weight (Ws) at different time points. The swelling ratio (Q) was calculated by the following equation: Q = Ws/Wd.
To characterize the enzymatic degradation properties, we placed the HAMA hydrogel samples in 1.5-mL centrifuge tubes with 1 mL PBS containing 10 units of hyaluronidase at 37°C. At a pre-defined time (Supplementary Table S1), the hydrogels for each condition were removed, frozen, and lyophilized. Mass loss was determined as the ratio of the final weight to the original dry weight. All experiments were repeated 3 times.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
