Influence of Temperature and Polymer Concentration on the Nonlinear Response of Highly Acetylated Chitosan–Genipin Hydrogels

Strain hardening, i.e., the nonlinear elastic response of materials under load, is a physiological response of biological tissues to mechanical stimulation. It has recently been shown to play a central role in regulating cell fate. In this paper, we investigate the effect of temperature and polymer...
