Application

This homobifunctional PEG can be used in hydrogel applications; biocompatibilization; thiol-ene coupling; and other applications using cross-linked PEG networks.

General description

Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PGEDA) is used for synthesising highly cross-linked hydrogels which are used as biomaterials in tissue engineering. These hydrogels are formed using non-cytotoxic photo initiators. PEG hydrogels can be easily covalently linked to bioactive proteins and peptides which in turn promote specific cell activity either on the surface or within the hydrogel.
