Characterization of LDHs. A TEM image of LDHs. B SEM image of LDHs. C Zeta potential of EPO and LDHs dispersed in deionized water. Inset photograph is for the dried LDHs. D Formation of hydrogels. Representative formation of SA-based hydrogels with LDHs and EPO in the presence of fixed Ca2+ concentration (0.02 mol/L). E Gelation time of Alg Gel with different Ca2+ concentrations. Inset photographs are for sol to gel phase transition of SA polymer with increasing Ca2+ concentrations. F Gelation time of Alg Gel with increasing concentration of LDHs to prepare INHs. Error bars in the graph represents mean ± SD (n = 3)
