This swelling behavior offers guidance for hydrogel applications: MPG-rich hydrogels, with high swelling, are suitable for wound dressings, drug delivery, and absorbent materials, while MFG-rich hydrogels, with greater stability, suit load-bearing applications like tissue engineering scaffolds. Additionally, higher-swelling hydrogels likely have a larger pore size distribution after swelling. Adjusting MPG ratios enables fine-tuning of swelling properties, making these hydrogels adaptable for diverse biomedical and industrial uses.
