Figure 2. Controllable mechanical properties and tunable drug release rates. Strain-sweep rheology study of fibro-gels for different fiber lengths. The arrow highlights the increase for G′ and G″ with increasing Lfiber (left pane). The TC release profile of fibro-gels for different fiber lengths. The fibro-gel with longer fibers exhibits a more sustained drug release profile. Hydrolysis and/or the drug tightly entrapped in the gel also result in the incomplete release of the drug (right pane).
