Figure Lengend Snippet: Mean swelling ratio over square root of time (total swelling time: 672 h) for Silpuran 2430-PAMAA composite samples with initial hydrogel content of 20 wt%, 25 wt%, and 30 wt%. Error bars indicate standard deviation for test samples with hydrogel particle size (median) of ( a ) 28 µm, ( b ) 48 µm, and ( c ) 77 µm. For each material combination, n = 6 samples were investigated.

Figure Lengend Snippet: WST-1 biocompatibility results of Silpuran 2430-PAMAA and Nusil 4850-PAMAA samples repeated four times with n = 6 samples, mean ± standard deviation, and negative control. Mean cell viability for all repetitions corresponding to each material combination was calculated. All composites, irrespective of particle size and percentage of the hydrogel phase, yielded the same result of over 70% cell viability.
