Elasticity, Stiffness and Ultimate Strength [0112] Elastic modulus is a measurement of a material's resistance to elastic deformation (i.e., non-permanent deformation) when a stress is applied to it, and is often described by the slope of a stress-strain curve. Different types of elastic moduli can be described, based on the specifics of how stress and strain are measured (e.g., direction, type of force, etc.). For example, Young's modulus can describe tensile elasticity (i.e., the tendency of an object to deform along an axis when opposing forces are applied along that axis), and is generally defined as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain. As another example, bulk modulus can describe volumetric elasticity (i.e., the tendency of an object to deform in all directions when uniformly loaded in all directions), and is generally defined as volumetric stress over volumetric strain (the inverse of compressibility). The bulk modulus can thus be viewed as an extension of Young's modulus to three dimensions. Elastic modulus can thus refer (based on measurement and context) to one or more of Young's modulus, modulus of elasticity, tensile modulus, bulk modulus, or other known elastic moduli such as Poisson's ratio, Lame's first parameter, and P-wave modulus. In general, a higher elastic modulus is correlated with a higher stiffness of a material.

Swelling and Water Content [0133] In certain embodiments, the polymer composition comprises a gel. A gel generally comprises a crosslinked polymeric framework which encompasses a network of pores filled with an interstitial solvent (e.g., a fluid). In certain embodiments, the polymer composition comprises a hydrogel, wherein the interstitial fluid comprises water. In certain embodiments, the polymer composition comprises an alcogel, wherein the interstitial fluid comprises an alcohol (e.g., methanol, ethanol). [0134] Swelling (i.e., an increase in volume) can occur in a gel when the gel material absorbs and retains additional interstitial fluid within the pore network of the gel. Likewise, shrinkage (i.e., a decrease in volume) can occur in a gel when the gel material expels interstitial fluid from the pore network of the gel. The ability and/or tendency of a gel material to swell and/or shrink in certain solvent environments will depend on the chemical nature of the polymer and the solvent (e.g., solubility, hydrophobicity, pore structure, affinity) and the elasticity of the polymer network of the gel. The swelling ratio of a gel is a measurement of the fractional increase in the weight of the gel due to fluid absorption (e.g., weight increase of a hydrogel from the absorption of water). [0135] In certain embodiments, polymer compositions of the present disclosure can have a therapeutically-effective swelling ratio and/or water content.

IV. ADMINISTRATION AND TREATMENTS General [0172] Suturing, tissue transplantation, and the use of tissue adhesives are common treatments for defects and/or traumatic injuries to soft tissues (such as corneal or scleral tissues). However, each treatment carries significant risks and complications: (i) Suturing requires advanced surgical skill and early treatment, it often results in irregular stigmatisms, and can often lead to microbial entrapment and infection; (ii) Tissue grafting and transplantation require donor tissue (with associated high costs), advanced surgical skill, and present a high risk of immune reactions or full rejection of the grafted tissue; (iii) Tissue adhesives (such as cyanoacrylate glues, fibrin glues, or polyethylene-glycol (PEG)-based sealants) have limited effectiveness and adhesion (particularly in aqueous and physiological environments), have limited durability, can be difficult to apply and control texture, have a high probability of leaking, lack of biocompatibility (e.g., inflammatory) and possible toxicity, have a lack of translucence/transparency, have a high risk of infection (including risks related to high porosity), and have generally not received FDA safety approval for alleviating corneal defects or repairing significant corneal incisions, perforations or trauma.

Preparation of precursor polymeric compositions (a) Preparation of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) precursor polymeric composition [0274] GelMA precursor polymeric compositions can be synthesized as described in the art. For example, GelMA is synthesized by dissolving 10% (w/v) gelatin (e.g., porcine gelatin) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and then heated at 60°C for 20 minutes. The heating is followed by dropwise addition of 8% (v/v) methacrylic anhydride at 50°C for 3 hours (under continuous stirring), followed by dilution with PBS and dialysis at 40-50°C for about 7 days (using deionized water). The resulting mixture is filtered and lyophilized for 4 days. The resulting GelMA precursor polymeric composition can be stored at -80°C until further use. [0275] In one alternative, GelMA is synthesized by dissolving 10 grams of gelatin from fish skin in 100 ml DPBS at 60°C for 30 minutes.8% (v/v) methacrylic anhydride is then added to the solution drop-wise under stirring at 60°C for 3 hours. An additional 300 ml DPBS is added to halt the reaction. The resulting mixture is dialyzed using a deionized water bath at 50°C for about 5 days to remove the unreacted methacrylic anhydride. The resulting solution is filtered and lyophilized for about 4 days. (b) Preparation of methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) precursor polymeric composition [0276] MeHA precursor polymeric compositions can be synthesized as described in the art, such as those presented in: Bencherif et al., Biomaterials 29, 1739–1749 (2008); Prata et al., Biomacromolecules 11, 769–775 (2010). For example, MeHA is synthesized by dissolving about 2 grams of hyaluronic acid sodium salt in 200 ml of deionized water, followed by the sequential addition of 8.0 mL triethylamine, 8.0 mL glycidyl methacrylate, and 4.0 g of tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (with 1 hour of stirring between each sequential addition). The resulting mixture is incubated at 55°C for 1 hour, then cooled (ice bath) and precipitated in acetone (4 L) to form a white solid precipitate. The precipitate is rinsed with fresh acetone, dissolved in pure water, dialyzed for 2 days, then frozen and lyophilized for storage. (c) Preparation of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) precursor polymeric composition [0277] PEGDA precursor polymeric compositions can be synthesized as described in the art. For example, PEGDA is synthesized by reacting 10 grams of PEG in dichloromethane (10% w/v) with triethylamine and acryloyl chloride (1:4:4 molar ratio) at 4°C under inert conditions (stirred overnight). The resulting mixture is filtered and then precipitated using ice-cold ether. The resulting precipitated product is filtered and dried in vacuum desiccator overnight to remove residual materials. [0278] In one alternative, PEGDA is synthesized by dissolving PEG diol in benzene, followed by azeotropic distillation in toluene using a Dean-Stark trap to remove water and ensure dry acrylation conditions. PEG acrylation is carried out by dissolving PEG in dichrolomethane solution (under argon), followed by the addition of acryloyl chloride and triethylamine at a molar ratio of 2:3:3 of OH-groups of PEG: acryloyl chloride: triethylamine. The resulting mixtures stirred at room temperature (dark room conditions) overnight. The resulting product is then precipitated using diethyl ether and chilled to 4°C, followed by filtration recovery and vacuum oven drying. (d) Preparation of methacrylated tropoelastin (MeTro) precursor polymeric composition [0279] MeTro precursor polymeric compositions can be synthesized as described in the art. For example, MeTro is synthesized by dissolving 10 g of synthetic human elastin in DPBS (10% w/v), followed by dropwise addition of 8% (v/v) of methacrylic anhydride. The resulting solution is stir-reacted at about 5°C for 12-14 hours. Additional DPBS (5°C) is added to halt the reaction. The resulting mixture is dialyzed using a deionized water bath at 5°C for about 3 days to remove the unreacted methacrylic anhydride. The resulting solution is filtered, frozen, lyophilized, and then stored. Example 2: Preparation of hydrogel polymeric composition [0280] Hydrogel polymeric compositions can be synthesized as described in the art. For Example, a freeze-dried GelMA precursor polymeric composition produced according to Example 1(a) is dissolved in PBS at concentrations of 10-25% (w/v). Either 2-hydroxy-4'-(2- hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone or Eosin Y disodium salt is added as a photoinitiator, and the mixture is dissolved at 80°C. The resulting precursor polymeric composition is photocrosslinked visible light irradiation (e.g., blue light) to form a GelMA hydrogel polymeric composition. In one alternative, a target concentration of MeHA precursor polymeric composition [Example 1(b)], PEGDA precursor polymeric composition [Example 1(c)], and/or MeTro precursor polymeric composition [Example 1(d)] can be added to the precursor polymeric solution, wherein the amount of each element is added based on the desired physical, mechanical, structural, chemical and/or biological properties of the Hydrogel polymeric composition. [0281] In one alternative, a GelMA hydrogel polymeric composition is synthesized by first dissolving 7-15% w/v of gelatin methacryloyl from Example 1 into a solution containing at least one photoinitiator element, such as a mixture of triethanolamine (about 2% w/v) and N-vinyl caprolactam (about 1.25% w/v), in distilled water at room temperature. A solution of Eosin Y disodium salt (0.5 mM) is then added to the gelatin methacryloyl solution, and the resulting precursor polymeric composition is then photocrosslinked under exposure to visible light (420-480 nm) for 120 seconds. In one alternative, a target concentration of MeHA precursor polymeric composition [Example 1(b)], PEGDA precursor polymeric composition [Example 1(c)], and/or MeTro precursor polymeric composition [Example 1(d)] can be added to the precursor polymeric solution, wherein the amount of each element is added based on the desired physical, mechanical, structural, chemical and/or biological properties of the Hydrogel polymeric composition. [0282] In one alternative, microparticles (e.g., micelles) which contain a therapeutic agent (e.g., ocular antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin) are incorporated into the GelMA precursor polymeric composition prior to photocrosslinking. [0283] Porosity can be measured and analyzed by fabricating a freeze-dried, gold-sputter- coated hydrogel sample, which can then be imaged using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). [0284] Samples can also be subjected to a range of mechanical tests, including elasticity, swelling, compression testing, texture, and tensile testing. [0285] In one alternative, a GelMA hydrogel polymeric composition is formed on the surface of a target tissue. Resulting samples can be subjected to a range of mechanical and therapeutic tests, including adhesion, burst pressure, wound closure strength, shear strength, and durability/degradation rate. Example 3: Preparation of hydrogel polymeric composition [0286] Hydrogel polymeric compositions were prepared according to the follow steps. [0287] A photopolymerization initiator mixture was prepared comprising: 0.35 mg/mL of eosin Y (20% v/v), 12.5 mg/mL N-vinylcaprolactam, and 18.75 mg/mL triethanolamine (80% v/v), in phosphate buffer saline (PBS; pH 7), with pH adjustment using concentrated HCl as needed. [0288] Polymeric precursors were obtained from the following sources: (1) GelMA - Rousselot Biosciences (160P80 or GelMA 160P40); (2) HAMA – HTL Biotechnology (BLo- RD029-008); (3) HAGM – synthesized in-house according to methods known in the art (See, e.g., Example 1(b)); and (4) PEGDA – Jen Kem (ACLT-PEG35K-ACLT). Polymeric precursors were allowed to reach room temperature (RT) before their incorporation into a hydrogel polymeric precursor composition. [0289] PEGDA precursor materials (when applicable for a target formulation) were added first at the desired concentration (e.g., 0.1-20% w/v) into the photopolymerization initiator mixture, and allowed to dissolve at 37°C for about 5 minutes. [0290] GelMA precursor materials (when applicable for a target formulation) were then added at the desired concentration (e.g., 4-20% w/v) into the hydrogel precursor mixture, and allowed to dissolve at 60°C for about 2 hours with occasional vortexing. [0291] MeHA (i.e., HAMA or HAGM) precursor materials (when applicable for a target formulation) were then added at the desired concentration (e.g., 1-3% w/v) into the hydrogel precursor mixture, and allowed to dissolve at 60°C overnight with stirring (to prevent any phase separation). [0292] Once all precursor materials were fully dissolved into the hydrogel precursor mixture, an active agent (when applicable for a target formulation) was added at the desired concentration (e.g., 1-350 mg/mL). The mixture was maintained under stirring at 37°C until ready for polymerization. [0293] Hydrogel disk samples were prepared by pipetting about 100 ^L of hydrogel precursor mixture into individual poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) cylindrical molds positioned in wells of a 24-well non-treated plate. The polymer composition was then photocrosslinked using a Dolan-Jenner high-intensity LED illuminator (MI-LED-US-B1) equipped with a dual-arm gooseneck configuration (one arm above and one arm below, thus allowing for dual light exposure from top and bottom). Each arm outputs an average optical power of ~100 mW/cm2 (^max= 450, 540 nm), with light exposure times varying from 15 seconds to 4 minutes. [0294] Hydrogel rod samples were prepared by dipping 0.75 mm inner-diameter borosilicate glass capillaries into the hydrogel precursor mixture, and then oscillating the capillary tubes until filled up to about 10 mm from the opening. The polymer composition was then photocrosslinked using a Dolan-Jenner high-intensity LED illuminator (MI-LED- US-B1) equipped with a dual-arm gooseneck configuration (one arm above and one arm below, thus allowing for dual light exposure from top and bottom). Each arm outputs an average optical power of ~100 mW/cm2 (^max= 450, 540 nm), with light exposure times of about 4 minutes. Hydrogel rods were extruded from the capillary tubes using a 0.5 mm diameter quartz rod, and then cut to size using calipers. Example 4: Study of hydrogel properties a) Degree of crosslinking - Photopolymerization time [0295] Studies were completed to analyze the correlation between the degree of crosslinking within hydrogels as a function of photopolymerization time. [0296] HAMA-only hydrogels were prepared according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 15 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 4 minutes. The resulting hydrogels were dried under vacuum, dissolved in deuterated DMSO, and then analyzed using proton NMR analysis (d-DMSO solvent). Other techniques can also be used, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. For HAMA hydrogels, the change in proton ratio between the methacrylate methyl group and the HA carbonyl methyl group was quantified as a function of light exposure time and normalized to the ratio present in uncrosslinked HAMA to represent the degree (%) of crosslinking. Results in FIG.4A show that degree of crosslinking increases as light exposure time increases. [0297] GelMA-only hydrogels were prepared according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 4 minutes. The resulting hydrogels were dried under vacuum, dissolved in deuterated DMSO, and then analyzed using proton NMR analysis (d-DMSO solvent). Other techniques can also be used, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. For GelMA hydrogels, the ratio of ME methyl groups to GelMA lysine CH ₂ groups was analyzed. Results in FIG.4B show that ratios of [ME methyl groups to lysine CH ₂ groups] decrease as light exposure time increases. b) Swelling Ratio [0298] Studies were completed to analyze the swelling ratios of hydrogels having various GelMA, HAMA, and PEGDA concentrations. [0299] G4-HM1-P1, G7-HM1, G4-HM1, and HM1-P1 hydrogels (as described in Table 1) were prepared according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. Resulting hydrogel cylinders had diameter of 6 mm and a volume of 75 ^L. [0300] To assess swelling, two methods were employed. In the first method, hydrogel weight right after crosslinking was used as the “dry” hydrogel weight (Wd-1) while in the second method the dry polymer weight (hydrogels dried in vacuo) was used as the dry hydrogel weight (Wd-2). In both instances the “wet” hydrogel weight (Ws) referred to hydrogels incubated at 37°C in 1× PBS for 48 hours. Swelling ratio was calculated as follows: Swelling Ratio = (Ws-Wd)/Wd [0301] Results from the First measurement method were inconsistent, as shown in FIG. 5A. Results from the Second measurement method were more consistent, as shown in FIG. 5B, and shows that increased GelMA concentration plays a significant role in reducing the hydrogel swelling. [0302] G4-H _M 1-P1, G7-H _M 1, G4-H _M 1, and H _M 1-P1 hydrogels were studied for swelling/reswelling effects. Samples were dried and swelled using the second method, and then re-dried and re-swelled a second time. Results presented in FIG.5C show that swelling ratios are notably decreased when they hydrogel is exposed to more than one drying/swelling cycle. [0303] G4-P1, G4-P0.1, G20, G10, G5, P20, and P5 hydrogels (as described in Table 1) were prepared according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. Swelling was assessed using a dry polymer weight (hydrogels dried in vacuo) as the "dry" hydrogel weight (Wd), and with the “wet” hydrogel weight (Ws) referring to hydrogels incubated at 37°C in 1× PBS for 48 hours. Results presented in FIG. 5D show that swelling mass are notably increased with the inclusion of PEGDA, and that increased GelMA concentrations also increase the swelling mass of the hydrogel. c) Swelling Ratio with Active Agent [0304] Studies were completed to analyze the swelling ratios of hydrogels loaded with an active agent and having various GelMA, HAMA, and PEGDA concentrations. [0305] G4-H _M 1-P1, G4-H _M 1, G7-H _M 1, H _M 1-P1, G4-P1, and G7-P1 hydrogels (as described in Table 1) according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. Samples of each hydrogel were also prepared with 13.2 mg/mL of a corticosteroid active agent. [0306] Swelling was assessed using a dry polymer weight (hydrogels dried in vacuo) as the "dry" hydrogel weight (Wd), and with the “wet” hydrogel weight (Ws) referring to hydrogels incubated at 37°C in 1× PBS for 48 hours. Swelling ratio was calculated as follows: Swelling Ratio = (Ws-Wd)/Wd [0307] Results presented in FIG.6A show hydrogels loaded with an active agent generally have a higher swelling ratio, likely due to the gel-network crosslinking disruptions and lower crosslinking density associated with incorporating an active agent into the gel network. [0308] G4-HM1-P1, G4-HM1, G7-HM1, HM1-P1, G4-P1, and G7-P1 hydrogels (with active agents) were also studied for swelling/reswelling effects. Samples were dried and swelled, and then re-dried and re-swelled a second time. Results presented in FIG.6B show that swelling ratios for hydrogels containing MeHA are notably decreased when the hydrogel is exposed to more than one drying/swelling cycle, while hydrogels that contain only GelMA + PEGDA have minimal effect from re-swelling. d) Enzymatic Degradation [0309] Studies were completed to analyze enzymatic degradation stabilities of hydrogels having various GelMA, MeHA, and PEGDA concentrations. [0310] G4-H _G 3-P1, G4-H _M 1-P0.67, G4-H _G 3, G4-H _M 1, G7-H _G 3, G7-H _M 1, H _G 3-P1, and H _M 1-P0.67 hydrogels (as described in Table 1) were prepared according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. Samples were then enzymatically digested in hyaluronidase (Hy) and either Collagenase Type I (CI) or Collagenase Type II (CII) at either 20 U/mL or 2 U/mL. Resulting degradation times are shown in Table 2. Table 2 – Enzymatic Degradation Times e) Drug Release [0311] Studies were completed to analyze drug release rate of hydrogels having various GelMA, MeHA, and PEGDA concentrations. [0312] G4-HM1-P1 and G4- HG3-P1 hydrogels (as described in Table 1) were prepared with 13.2 mg/mL of a corticosteroid active agent according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. Resulting hydrogel cylinders had diameter of 6 mm and a volume of 75 ^L. [0313] For release studies, hydrogels were statically (no physical agitation) incubated at 37°C in 1 mL of 1× PBS supplemented with 2% Triton X-100 to simulate tear fluid. At each time point (over 10-13 days), the incubation solution was completely removed and replaced with fresh 1× PBS + 2% Triton X-100. In order to quantify corticosteroid release, samples were diluted 1:2 in acetonitrile and analyzed using reverse phase liquid chromatography. An Agilent Zorbax Eclipse (XDB-C18) 4.6 x 250 mm, 5 ^m analytical column was used on an Agilent 1290 HPLC system equipped with a diode array detector. The column was equilibrated at 70% acetonitrile, 30% water at 25°C. After injecting a 20 ^L sample, the solvent gradient increased from 70% to 90% ACN during the time-span of 10 minutes. The corticosteroid eluted close to 5 minutes when the ACN gradient reaches approximately 80%. This peak was integrated and the area under the curve was used to determine concentration by comparing it to a standard curve for the corticosteroid. Results presented in FIG.7A show that hydrogels containing a higher concentration of MeHA provide a more accelerated release profile. These results correlate with corresponding study results showing that higher concentrations of MeHA in a hydrogel result in increased hydrogel swelling. [0314] Based on results in the Swelling Ratio studies, it is likely that higher concentrations of MeHA in the hydrogel result in increased hydrogel swelling, and thus resulting in a more accelerated burst release of the active agent. Higher concentrations of MeHA may also lead to a phase separation with GelMA within the precursor solution, which can cause gel network imperfections (i.e., areas of higher and lower crosslinking density) resulting in a higher initial burst release. [0315] Release profiles for G4-H _M 1-P1 were continued through 35 days (FIG.7B) and through 65 days (FIG.7C). Release profile for G4-H _M 1-P1 was also compared with G4-P1 and G7-P1 (FIG.7D), again showing that the presence of MeHA in a hydrogel increases the release rate of the active agent from the hydrogel. f) Vacuum drying [0316] Studies were completed to analyze the effect of vacuum drying on the drug release rate of hydrogels having various GelMA, MeHA, and PEGDA concentrations. [0317] G4-HM1-P1, G4-P1, and G7-P1 hydrogels (as described in Table 1) were prepared with 13.2 mg/mL of a corticosteroid active agent according to the general procedures of Example 3, with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. Samples from each hydrogel were then vacuum dried. Release studies using wet and dried samples for each hydrogel where then completed according to the general study procedures of Example 3(e). Results for G4- H _M 1-P1 hydrogels (FIG.8A) show that release profiles for hydrogels containing MeHA can be reduced by vacuum drying the hydrogel, such that the inclusion of MeHA in a hydrogel formulation can reduce the release profile for dried samples, while alternatively increasing the swelling and corresponding release profiles in samples that would not be dried . Results for G4-P1 and G7-P1 hydrogels (FIG.8B) show that release profiles for GelMA + PEGDA hydrogels that do not contain MeHA are generally not effected by vacuum drying the hydrogel. g) Rods vs. Disks [0318] Studies were completed to analyze the effect of hydrogel shape (i.e., rods vs. disks) on the drug release rate of hydrogels comprising GelMA, MeHA, and PEGDA. [0319] G4-HM1-P1 hydrogels (as described in Table 1) were prepared with 13.2 mg/mL of a corticosteroid active agent as both disks and rods, according to the general procedures of Example 3 and with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. [0320] G4-HM1-P1 hydrogel disks had a diameter (D) of 6mm, a volume (V) of 75 μL, a surface area (SA) of 107 mm ² , and a SA:V ratio of 1.4. [0321] G4-HM1-P1 hydrogel rods had a diameter (D) of 2mm, a volume (V) of 25 μL, a surface area (SA) of 56 mm ² , and a SA:V ratio of 2.2. [0322] Samples from the rod hydrogels were then vaccum dried or freeze dried (i.e., lyophilized). Release studies using the resulting wet and dried samples where then completed according to the general study procedures of Example 3(e). Results for Total Drug Release (FIG.9A) show that cylinder disks provide a larger total release of the active agent (likely as a result of a high surface area), with Rod _wet, Rod _lyo , and Rod _dry all having similar release totals. Results for Percentage Drug Release (FIG.9B) show wet hydrogels (cylinder disk and rods) release a higher percentage of active agent than vacuum dried or freeze-dried rod hydrogels. Study results thus showed that the swelling properties, surface area (i.e., shape), and hydration state of a hydrogel play important roles in the drug release profile of a hydrogel composition. h) Degree of crosslinking – Degree of methacrylation [0323] Studies were completed to analyze the correlation between the release profile of a GelMA+PEGDA hydrogel and the degree of GelMA methacrylation within the hydrogels. [0324] G4(160P80)-P1(2K) and G4(160P40)-P1(35K) hydrogels (as described in Table 1) were prepared with 13.2 mg/mL of a corticosteroid active agent according to the general procedures of Example 3 and with photocrosslinking times of 4 minutes. Release studies where then completed according to the general study procedures of Example 3(e), with each sample being exposed to Collagenase II 0.5 U/mL conditions and non-enzymatic standard conditions. Results for Total Drug Release (FIG.10) show that a lower 40% DoM in the GelMA provide a faster release profile than the higher 80% DoM GelMA hydrogel.
