Tuning of the viscoelastic properties of supramolecular hydrogels to be used as biological material substrates in tissue engineering has become significantly relevant in recent years due to their ability to influence cell fate. In the quest to enhance the stability and mechanical properties of a derived C2-phenylalanine gelator (LPF), derivatives of the polysaccharide dextran were incorporated as additives to promote hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking with the gelator. Dextran was esterified to yield carboxymethyl dextran (CMDH), which was subsequently amidated to furnish amino dextran (AD), the resulting hybrid hydrogels were denoted as LPF-AD
