Controlled degradation of low-fouling poly(oligo(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate) hydrogels
Abstract
Degradable low-fouling hydrogels are ideal vehicles for drug and cell delivery. For each application, hydrogel degradation rate must be re-optimized for maximum therapeutic benefit. We developed a method to rapidly and predictably tune degradation rates of low-fouling poly(oligo(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate) (P(EG) x MA) hydrogels by modifying two interdependent variables: (1) base-catalysed crosslink degradation kinetics, …
