Synthesis of High Strength and Well-Defined PEG-Based Hydrogel Networks via Click Chemistry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Click Chemistry was used to synthesize a series of PEG-based hydrogel networks. Attributable to the controlled nature and the quantitative yields of Click Chemistry, the prepared PEG-based hydrogels have the well-defined structures, which resulted in the improved mechanical properties and the high swelling ratios of hydrogels
