Facultad de Ciencias K1 Biomedicina K1 ELR K1 Propagación ondas mecánicas K1 Viscoelasticidad AB The production of Elastin-like recombiners (ELR) has as objective the production of nano-structural devices that canbe used for drug delivery and tissue engineering. The reason of why these materials are so desired are their goodmechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability and thermal sensitivity. The objective of this master thesis isto measure the propagation of mechanical waves inside an ELR hydrogel created in a 1:1 composition with two ELRbiopolymers via click reaction. Using an oscilloscope, a wave generator and piezoelectrics we measured three Elastin-Like Recombinamers click gels at different PBS concentrations. The objective of the measurement is to understand thepropagation of the mechanical waves in hydrogels depending on their composition and frequency of the mechanicalwaves. This is rather important because mechanical waves may influence the behaviour of a cell.
