PROBLEM

Hydrogel behavior depends on concentration and cross-linking conditions.

APPROACH

Combine rheological analysis with predictive modeling across tested F88DMA, APS, and TEMED conditions.

CONTRIBUTION

Dhruva conducted the rheological analysis and applied predictive methods to the tested conditions.

RESULTS

A 97 percent correlation between concentration and cross-linking time was observed under the tested conditions.

REFLECTION

Experimental context and boundary conditions are essential when reporting materials correlations.
