Generic, Anthracene‐Based Hydrogel Crosslinkers for Photo‐controllable Drug Delivery
Abstract
Light-responsive polymers with controllable, reversible crosslink mechanisms have the potential to create unique biomaterials with stimulus-controlled swelling, degradation and diffusion properties useful in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. Generic photodimerizing polyethylene glycol-anthracene macromolecules that may be grafted to various polymers to effectively control their crosslinking via a photodimerization mechanism …
