In this study we have characterised the mechanical behaviour of hydrogels with varying concentrations; samples were measured with parallel plates compression, macro indentation with spherical indenter and micro indentation with pyramidal indenter to test different response of the studied material to macroscopic and microscopic solicitations. Pillar microstructure were then produce to culter human stem cells.

Abstract

In this study we have characterised the mechanical behaviour of hydrogels with varying concentrations; samples were measured with parallel plates compression, macro indentation with spherical indenter and micro indentation with pyramidal indenter to test different response of the studied material to macroscopic and microscopic solicitations. Pillar microstructure were then produce to culter human stem cells.
