The percent change in sample mass by adsorption and desorption of water vapor over time reveals the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) and the sorption kinetics pattern of the cryogel scaffolds. Despite the difference in compositions (CNC vs. CNC-MNP) and macroporosity, the cryogel scaffolds show similar adsorption kinetics (Figure ). The EMC for different cryogel samples falls within the water uptake range of 17.6% -20.0%. CNC cryogel scaffolds show slightly higher EMC than CNC-MNP cryogel scaffolds, as shown in Figure .
