We prepared self-standing chemically cross-linked hydrogels from 1,3-α-d-glucan (Mw = 2.0 × 105) and 1,3-β-d-glucans (low-molecular-weight (LMW) Mw = 2.0 × 105, high-molecular-weight (HMW) Mw = 1.0 × 106), using ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDGE) as a cross-linker. Uniaxial compressive tests using cylindrical hydrogels of the cross-linked glucans were conducted. Both the 1,3-α-d-glucan and LMW-1,3-β-d-glucan hydrogels were highly deformable and shape-deformable; they could be compressed without breaking to 60% and 80% strain, resp
