The compression properties of the wet hydrogel (15 mm in diameter and 10 mm height) were tested using an INSTRON 5565 Materials Testing Machine (Instron, Norwood, MA, USA) at a loading rate of 10 mm/min. The compression strain of the wet HLCC hydrogel and the wet HLCS hydrogel were 60% and 80%, respectively.
