Crosslinked Hydrogels Of The Benzyl Ester Of Hyaluronic Acid

摘要

The ability to independently control the hydrophilic-hydrophobic character of HA with benzyl modification and the crosslink density with methacryloyl modification at separate chemical moieties on the backbone, we expect, will translate to the ability to tune the physical properties of the crosslinked hydrogel. Future work includes crosslinking the MA-modified benzyl ester of HA into hydrogels and characterizing the mechanical and degradative properties of these hydrogels.
