Based on my experiment, the size was controlled by type of monomer/polymer use and also the stabilizer

Samir G. Pandya

Dear Mir Sahidul Ali,

The size of hydrogel can be controlled by varying the chemical composition and preparation methods.

Beneficial properties including

01. Porosity,

02. Swelling ability,

03. Stability,

04. Biocompatibility/ Biodegradability, and

05. Mechanical strength can all be tuned for specific application purposes.

I hope I have answered your question.

With Best Wishes,

Mir Sahanur Ali
