Figure Lengend Snippet: Photopolymerization profiles of hydrogels a) under LED@405 nm, b) under sunlight at air. The hydrogel formulations as follows: PEGDA 100 wt% (gel‐1), PEGDA: water 90 wt%:10 wt% (gel‐2), PEGDA:water 80 wt%:20 wt% (gel‐3), PEGDA:water 70 wt%:30 wt% (gel‐4), and PEGDA:water 60 wt%:40 wt% (gel‐5). Hydrogels synthesized under sunlight were as follows: PEGDA 100 wt% (gel‐6), PEGDA: water 90 wt%:10 wt% (gel‐7), PEGDA:water 80 wt%:20 wt% (gel‐8), PEGDA:water 70 wt%:30 wt% (gel‐9), and PEGDA: water 60 wt%:40 wt% (gel‐10). The thickness is 2 mm and the irradiation starts for t = 10 s.
Article Snippet: The monomers, i.e., trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA, average M n = 575 g mol −1 ) were purchased from Sartomer (France).
