Peptide-based hydrogels have become an area of intense investigation due to their easy design, possibility make a large range hierarchical nanostructures and high biocompatibility biodegradability. Here, we investigated by mass spectrometry (MS) few synthetic gel-forming peptides having different amino acid sequences. Four were selected for MS measurements: EEE-OH, FFFFF-OH, FESNF-NH2, LWMRFA-OH. Our data show that can be used get detailed information on structure, molecular weight, chemical bond energies as well assess purity stability. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) theoretical studies carried out using GPMAW ChemDraw Ultra computer programs confirmed the data. The peptide tendency aggregate, process observed in case EEE polar environment, was also theoretically modeling.

Thermoresponsive Pluronic® F127 (PL) gels in water were investigated through rheological tests different shear conditions. The gel strength was tuned with the addition of 1% polysaccharide solution. In presence xanthan gum (XG), viscoelastic behavior PL-based hydrogels improved aqueous environment, but less changed XG PBS solutions, whereas 0.1 M NaCl, parameters decreased. PL micellar networks exhibited a self-healing ability, recovering their initial structure after applying cycles high strain. characteristics hydrogel polysaccharides (xanthan gum, alginate, κ-carrageenan, gellan, or chitosan). PL/polysaccharide systems form temperature-responsive thinning behavior, yield stress, and being considered versatile platform for injectable biomaterials bioinks. Thus, medium, strain (the values elastic modulus increased). other natural polymers induced specific behaviors. Good performances observed gellan strain, ability to recover A modest chitosan dissolved NaCl
