Single and dual crosslinked oxidized methacrylated alginate/PEG hydrogels for bioadhesive applications

A bioadhesive hydrogel system based on OMA/PEG has been developed. The single- or dual-crosslinked OMA/PEG hydrogel system with tunable physical properties and adhesion strength developed in this study may be a promising bioadhesive for a wide range of biomedical applications, such as wound closure and healing, drug delivery and biomedical device implantation.
