(a) Optical photographs of the stained water drop on 1.2%, 2.4%, 3.6%, 4.8%, and 6.0% concentrated −80ST48 scaffolds after 2T, 5T, 10T, 15T, and 20T with (about 0.034) seconds. (b) Times for the water drop fully absorbed in 1.2%, 2.4%, 3.6%, 4.8%, and 6.0% concentrated −80ST48 scaffolds were averaged and presented with standard deviation.
