Fig. 1From: Biocompatibility and intradiscal application of a thermoreversible celecoxib-loaded poly-N-isopropylacrylamide MgFe-layered double hydroxide hydrogel in a canine modelRheological setup and results of the complex shear modulus |G*| of the pNIPAAM MgFe-LDH hydrogel. a Configuration of the rheological setup to measure |G*| of the pNIPAAM MgFe-LDH hydrogel. b |G*| of the pNIPAAM MgFe-LDH hydrogel as a function of temperature. The dashed red line connects the time point where the |G*| starts to increase to the temperature curve, and indicates a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 32 °C. AS after sterilization, ASC after sterilization separate components, NS nonsterilized. G* complex shear modulus, LDH layered double hydroxide, pNIPAAM poly-N-isopropylacrylamideBack to article page
