Figure Lengend Snippet: MAM diameter exerts a strong influence on chain length, diameter, areal density, while retaining uniform areal density and low degree of branching. Representative nano CT reconstruction in IMARIS of (A) 32 µm, (B) 62 µm, and (C) 90 µm MAM templated hydrogels. (D) Filament length distribution of templated gels. Dashed line represents the hydrogel thickness. (E) Chain diameter distributions. (F) Volume density of chains. (G) Areal density of chains. (H) Distributions of number of branches per chain. The number of chains with branch points above 5 where below 1%. One whole hydrogel per group was analyzed with nano CT. Solid lines represent the mean and dotted lines represent lower and upper quartiles in violin plots.
