2.4.2. Mechanical Strength Test

The mechanical strength of Hyt@tgels was measured in relation to its viscosity with a Brookfield viscometer (RVDV-II + P, Brookfield, WI, USA) set at 200 rpm router speed with increasing temperatures (20–65 ◦C, Equilibrium time: 1 ◦C/2 min (>35 ◦C) or 5 ◦C/10 min (<35 ◦C)).
