Particle size, swelling, entrapment and time for 50% drug release (t50) were dependent variables.
Turkeys, heretofore harmless creatures, have been exploding in size, swelling from an average 13.2lb (6kg) in 1929 to over 30lb today.

Mesh size, swelling and elastic moduli were shown to correlate well with the degree of gel component cross-linking.
The scaffold was characterized for pore size, swelling, density, degradation, mineralization, cell viability and attachment, and its morphological features were examined using scanning electron microscopy.
Generally, hydrogel physical properties, like crosslinking density, pore size, swelling capacity, storage and loss moduli are obtained by swelling and rheological tests.
Alginate content, pH, chitosan molecular weight and the hydrogel preparation method were the independent variables and the reaction yield, particle size, swelling degree and point of zero surface charge were the dependent variables.
Using ATDC-5 cells as model cells, three types of cell-laden microgels were generated in high-throughput manner and their potentials as cell carriers were evaluated in detail by comparing their mechanical elasticity, gelation time, microgel size, swelling ratio, cell viability, enzymatic degradation and bioactivity of released cells.
The first method led to similar drug loads in all the hydrogels, with minor drug loss during the washing steps to remove unreacted monomers, while the second method evidenced the influence of structural parameters on the loading efficiency (proportion of CD units, mesh size, swelling degree).
The beads were evaluated for entrapment efficiency, loss on drying, particle size, swelling index, and in vitro drug release.
PPGs have developed for the conformance control purposed with some suitable properties such as adjustable sizes, swelling ability in formation water, salt resistance, thermal stability, adjustable strength and slightly controlled swelling rate.
