Biodegradation of Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and Poly{(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-co-[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]} Hydrogels ContainingPeptide-Based Cross-Linking Agents
PHEMA-peptide and P[HEMA-co-(MeO-PEGMA)]-peptide conjugate hydrogels [where PHEMA ) poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate; PEGMA ) poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate] were readily prepared via photoinitiated free-radical polymerization in water. The PHEMA-peptide hydrogels were opaque and had a heterogen...
