| Shear-rate-dependent viscosity before crosslinking | Viscosity decreased with increasing shear rate for all formulations |
|---|---|
| Thixotropic recovery before crosslinking, 1 Hz to 500 Hz to 1 Hz | Viscosity dropped instantaneously at high shear and recovered to ~100 % of its initial value after high shear was removed |
| Oscillatory rheology before crosslinking | Storage modulus G′ exceeded loss modulus G″ for all formulations |
| Storage and compression moduli after crosslinking, PEGDA 5 % | G′ approximately 1.5 kPa; E 5 kPa |
| Storage and compression moduli after crosslinking, PEGDA 10 % | G′ 8 kPa; E 50 kPa |
| Storage and compression moduli after crosslinking, GelMA 3 % | G′ 1 kPa; E 3 kPa |
| Storage and compression moduli after crosslinking, GelMA 7 % | G′ 5 kPa; E 12 kPa |
| Storage and compression moduli after crosslinking, GelMA 10 % | G′ 10 kPa; E 20 kPa |
| Confocal fluorescence microscopy, multi-material constructs | Defined boundaries between soft and stiff regions |
