Injectable hydrogels with in situ -forming hydrophobic domains: oligo( d , l -lactide) modified poly(oligoethylene glycol methacrylate) hydrogels
Abstract
Injectable, in situ-gelling nanostructured hydrogels have been prepared from hydrazide and aldehyde-functionalized polymer precursors based on a copolymer of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA) and an oligo(lactic acid) macromonomer (OLA) with varying lactic acid chain lengths. The resulting hydrogels contain a mix of chemical (hydrazone bond formation between hydrazide and aldehyde groups) and physical (hydrophobic interactions between …
