The rheometer was further used to perform mechanical compression test. Cylindrical hydrogel samples were fabricated and kept inside a tissue culture incubator for one hour to ensure they were fully cured and also to minimize alterations in the mechanical behaviour due to dehydration. The samples were then inserted between the plates of the rheometer. Compression test was conducted at a strain rate of 10 μm per second until the strain of 50%.
