## Abstract Several macroscopic properties of degrading poly(lactic acid)‐b‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(lactic acid) (PLA‐b‐PEG‐b‐PLA) hydrogels were compared to one another as functions of degradation time. The specific hydrogel properties measured were the compressive modulus (K), the volumetric

A theoretical model has been developed to describe the bulk-degradation behavior of model PEG-b-PLA hydrogels. Utilizing a statistical approach to predict the cleavage of cross-links within these networks, the model accounts for both structural and kinetic issues during the degradation and, from dir

## Abstract Biodegradable hydrogels are attractive 3D environments for cell and tissue growth. In cartilage tissue engineering, mechanical stimulation has been shown to be an important regulator in promoting cartilage development. However, the impact of mechanical loading on the gel degradation kin
